PRE-SALE ITEM TO BEGIN SHIPPING SEPTEMBER 2026

Overview
WhistlePig The Boss Hog XIII “The Golden Pharaoh” Straight Rye Whiskey is the thirteenth installment in WhistlePig’s legendary Boss Hog series, continuing the collection’s tradition of bold single-barrel rye whiskey and unconventional cask finishing. Inspired by the grandeur of ancient Egypt, The Golden Pharaoh begins its maturation in new American oak before being finished in barrels seasoned with Egyptian black honey and tiger nut. This unique finishing process introduces layers of molasses-like sweetness, toasted nuttiness, warm spice, and rich oak while preserving WhistlePig’s signature rye intensity. Each single barrel is bottled at proof and presented with an elaborate Pharaoh-inspired pewter stopper and tomb-style collector’s box, making it one of the most distinctive Boss Hog releases to date.
