WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey — WhistlePig launched its first rye whiskey in 2010 to a 96 out of 100 rating from Wine Enthusiast and other accolades. It even had a cameo on "Breaking Bad." Expectations are high for the Shoreham distillery, and for master distiller Dave Pickerell. We'll drink to that.
