New whiskeys hit the market all the time. There are one-offs never to be seen again, and annual releases that draw a cult following. But few bottles garner as much attention as WhistlePig’s The Boss Hog. The Vermont distiller puts out this whiskey each fall, with 2026 marking its 13th edition.

The Boss Hog has become a collector’s item due partly to scarcity but also because each release features an entirely new aging process. This year’s release, dubbed “The Golden Pharaoh,” is one of their wildest expressions yet.
