Key Details at a Glance: The BigSheBáng

Why is this release significant?

For whiskey fans, this drop represents a benchmark moment pushing American Single Malt into new territory.

  • Oldest WhistlePig age statement ever

  • One of the oldest American Single Malts available today

  • Limited edition, highly sought after, and instantly collectible

What does WhistlePig say about The BigSheBáng?

According to WhistlePig:

“The BigSheBáng isn’t just the oldest and rarest whiskey we’ve ever released—it’s a Single Malt supernova. A sensory event thirty years in the making, erupting in a cataclysmic flash of flavor, depth, and cosmic complexity.”

After three decades in American Oak barrels, the whiskey spent its final stretch in Vin Santo casks, known for their velvety, rich character. The result? A whiskey with deep layers of honeyed bread, toasted cedar, and honeysuckle.

What are the tasting notes?

From WhistlePig’s distillery notes:

  • Nose: Honeyed bread, wheat crust, and subtle florality

  • Palate: Subtle clove, freshly kneaded sweet dough, and honeysuckle

  • Finish: Medium length with toasted cedar and delicate sweetness

How rare is this whiskey?

Extremely rare. As a single barrel, 30-year-old whiskey, The BigSheBáng is one of the hardest-to-find bottles WhistlePig has ever produced. Collectors will be chasing it, while most fans will continue enjoying more accessible options like WhistlePig’s 10-Year Rye.

Should you buy it?

At nearly $5,000, this whiskey isn’t for everyone. For collectors, it’s a historic, one-of-a-kind bottle worth the hunt. For most drinkers, it’s an exciting moment to celebrate, even if the purchase remains out of reach.
