WhistlePig Launches SummerStock Whiskey
To celebrate achieving 100% solar power at its farm and distillery in Vermont, WhistlePig Whiskey has teamed up with Pit Viper, the outdoor sports and lifestyle eyewear brand, to launch the limited edition WhistlePig SummerStock Whiskey and matching SummerStock 2000 Pit Viper sunglasses.
After installing its first solar array in 2020, WhistlePig now generates enough solar power for its full operation, and has plans to start sending energy back to the local grid this year.
WhistlePig SummerStock Whiskey is a blend of rye and wheat whiskey finished in an experimental ‘solara’ that reimagines the traditional solera method with levels of toasted barrels – including ones quite literally toasted by the sun.
Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), WhistlePig SummerStock Whiskey is described as having notes of “oak, soft baking spice, and subtle maple, followed by a mellow, jammy finish.”
The WhistlePig SummerStock Whiskey and SummerStock 2000 Pit Viper Sunglasses duo is available for pre-order online at shop.whistlepigwhiskey.com for $149.99. A portion of proceeds from the SummerStock Whiskey and Sunglasses duo will be donated to Everybody Solar. WhistlePig SummerStock Whiskey (sans sunglasses) is rolling out to retailers across the US now and carries a suggested retail price of $72.99.
