Single Barrel, Bottled at Proof, Powerfully Complex, Distinctly Unique From Anything Weve Done Before. Stupendous.

An epic sequel to the Worlds Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapus Pacific completes our journey around the world, unfurling a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself.

Upon crossing the Pacific, Captain Magellan met his fate at the hands of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. A fierce and vociferous defender of independence, LapuLapu led his island home against the Spaniards. There he forged a successful fortification, staving off colonial occupation for more than forty years.

In honor of our new hero, this rare edition sees a double finish in high toast, small batch, single island Philippine Rum casks, adding layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes to an already deeply complex, well aged Rye Whiskey. LapuLapus Pacific is a profound statement of strength and independence, a spectacular sequel to Magellans Atlantic.

This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof.

The mad scientists at WhistlePig excite our palates with each new exploration of barrel-aging. With The Boss Hog #8, they’re taking us to the Philippines, celebrating their hero Lapu-Lapu who drove the Spaniards out, back in 1521.

The Boss Hog VIII features an 18-year-old Straight Rye Whiskey that got a unique double finish in Rum barrels (8 and 10YO) from the island of Cebu, where the battle took place. Fun fact: those barrels used to hold Bourbon, which makes this one helluva journey. The Whiskey is rich and tropical with layers of lush notes: vanilla, bananas, molasses, cinnamon, citrus, butterscotch, toffee, leather, nutmeg, black pepper… WhistlePig did it again!
