On Nov. 10, The Robb Report shared that WhistlePig is bringing back its golden pig decanter filled with 10 year old rye whiskey just in time for the holidays. The release is limited in availability, and it costs a cool $300 from WhistlePig’s website. According to Robb Report, the whiskey clocks in at 110 proof.
The gold pig-shaped decanter holds up to a liter of whiskey, and there’s a bit of history behind these wild decanters. In the late 19th Century, Berkshire Bitter Pig decanters were made in Cincinnati and used as a way to market some of the region’s slaughterhouses, according to Tasting Table. It appears the whiskey brand decided to take things up a notch by blinging out these historically inspired decanters.
“Imagine this: a golden pig, proudly perched on your home bar, dripping with charm, complexity, and a bit of swine swagger,” the copy on WhistlePig’s website reads. “It’s the kind of bottle that stops conversations and starts new ones, the centerpiece of any gathering that appreciates something rare and a little ridiculous.”
The cult favorite whiskey brand shares that the nose on WhistlePig 10 PiggyBank Rye possesses aromas of dried cedar, candied ginger, and nutmeg. The palate offers up butterscotch and crushed black peppercorns, which segue into a finish with baked cinnamon.
WhistlePig’s Wild Releases of 2025
Though the idea of pouring whiskey from the rear end of a blinged-out pig might seem unusual to some, it’s actually pretty on-brand for WhistlePig.
In June, the brand teamed up with Liquid Death to release a summery wheat whiskey finished in… a casket. It might seem like a dark choice for a season that’s all about sunshine, but both brands had their reasons.
The brands shared that they made the gothic release because “life is too short to drink nothing but the best.”
The pig-themed whiskey brand also broke records when it released The BigShǝbàng in September. The whiskey is the Oldest American Single Malt and it underwent a secondary maturation process in Vin Santo barrels. The American Single Malt hosted a pretty hefty retail price of $4,999.
“This is unlike anything we’ve ever put in a bottle,” said WhistlePig’s Chief Blender Meghan Ireland about the release.
