Introducing WhistlePig The Boss Hog XII: Feather & Flame, the Twelfth Edition in WhistlePig's iconic, ultra-premium series. This straight rye whiskey exemplifies innovation, boldness, and global influence with a never-before-seen finishing process that sets it apart from all other limited releases.

Aged in Pulque Curado de Cacao barrels, this edition showcases a daring union of tradition and experimentation. With every sip, it delivers a journey from the bold spice of high-proof rye whiskey to the exotic richness of cacao-infused pulque — a tribute to ancient Mesoamerican culture and mythology. Bottled at 104.8 proof (52.4% ABV) and hand-selected by the WhistlePig team, Feather & Flame is a collector’s dream and connoisseur’s delight.

Packaged with the unmistakable Boss Hog XII insignia, featuring ancient-inspired motifs and sleek premium design, this edition is a true statement bottle.
