WhistlePig is releasing its oldest bourbon to date with the 10-Year Snout-to-Tail Bourbon while announcing a permanent experience at 403 E. Market St. in Downtown Louisville. Opening Summer 2025, this “disruptive brand outpost” called The WhistlePig PiggyBank will feature interactive tastings, exclusive whiskey releases, a signature bar, and the Vault housing WhistlePig’s rarest whiskeys

WhistlePig also tells BoourbonBlog.com that ten years after sparking the Rye revolution with its launch of WhistlePig Small Batch Rye – Aged 10 Years, they are going “whole hog” on Bourbon this year with the introduction of WhistlePig Snout-to-Tail Bourbon upside down with a boldly innovative craft process.
About the Bourbon and the “Flipping” Process
A decade’s worth of complex flavors are doubled down upon and turned up during WhistlePig’s Snout-to-Tail maturation process.
Each finishing barrel features two distinctly toasted barrel heads – a Vermont oak medium toast at “the snout” end and a Vermont oak smoked maple wood toast at “the tail.”
As pictured above and shown in the video below, only Bourbon aged Snout-to-Tail, WhistlePig flips its barrels 180 degrees in the warehouse to capture each barrel head’s unique toasted flavors and bring out the big, bold character in this palate-pleasing Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
WhistlePig Snout-to-Tail Bourbon is bottled at 88 Proof, a wink to the 880 miles between the WhistlePig Vermont Farm and its new Kentucky outpost.
WhistlePig Snout-to-Tail Bourbon – Aged 10 Years will be available for sale online on WhistlePig’s website and at liquor stores, bars and restaurants nationwide on January 29, 2025, for $89.99 MSRP per 750mL bottle.
“The equal and opposite of our flagship 10 year Rye, Snout-to-Tail Bourbon takes toasted barrel aging to ten with bold flavors and new complexity earned before and after the barrel flip. With honey, brown sugar and toasted cashew on the ‘snout’, roasted almonds and baked cornbread on the sip, and a fresh crust and cedar ‘tail’, it’s a Straight Bourbon Whiskey born to crash the party in Kentucky,” says Meghan Ireland, WhistlePig’s Head Blender.

The WhistlePig PiggyBank to Open in Louisville’s Historic Bank Shot Billiards Building
Previously home to Bank Shot Billiards, which closed in late 2017, the historic building will now house The WhistlePig PiggyBank. WhistlePig tells us they are knocking down the door of the American Whiskey heartland, bringing Big Pig Energy from their remote Vermont farm to this permanent outpost in Downtown Louisville, set to open in Summer 2025.
The WhistlePig PiggyBank transforms the historic bank building and infamous Bank Shot Billiards space with interactive snout-to-tail experiences, exclusive tastings, a big pig bar and other ham hijinx. The prime cut of the experience is the century bank Vault, reinvented to house WhistlePig’s most rare and collectible whiskeys.
This fearless foray onto Bourbon’s home turf is a testament to WhistlePig’s whole-hogged commitment to crafting whiskeys that are bigger, bolder and better than generations past.
