What do WhistlePig Whiskey, Glenmorangie, and Ardbeg have in common?
Let me tell you.
As you may be aware, LVMH is the parent company of both Glenmorangie and Ardbeg. Back in 2020, LVMH also acquired a minority stake in WhistlePig. The two release from 'The Vault' I now possess are a result of that.
The two releases are:
The Boss Hog III - Bonfide
The Independent
Straight Rye Whiskey Aged 20 Years
Finished In Highland Single Malt Casks
52.7% ABVThe Boss Hog III - Bonfide
The Independent
Straight Rye Whiskey Aged 19 Years
Finished In Islay Single Malt Casks
53.2% ABVNo prizes for guessing the Highland and Islay casks.
I photographed them along with my bottle of the original Boss Hog III - The Independent. Mine was barrel 11, 14 years old, 60.1% ABV.
Basically they took some remaining spirit from The Independent bottling run and re-casked it for some extra aging. I have seen nothing about these releases out there to date.
I've been a fan of Whistlepig since Dave Pickerell brought the first releases to Julio's Liquors many moons ago. The original 10, the 111, Boss Hog I, etc. I still have those, and nearly everything Whistlepig has released to date. I'm a long time fan.
I say that because now I have to tell you that Whistlepig has botched this experience to the point of it being laughable.
My LVMH rep reached out to me about these releases in early November 2025 as they are limited, direct-sale bottles. I thought about it and decided to pull the trigger in December. Whistlepig finally confirmed the order January 15th, and said delivery could take up to 16 weeks.
Guys, I can get whiskey shipped from anywhere in the world faster than that. You're in VT, I'm in MA, give me the option and I'll drive up to get it.
But, fine, I'll wait.
OK, May rolls around with no word, so I ask my rep about them. He was as surprised as I was that I had not received them. He looks into it, and the order is still processing. Very strange.
He went back and forth with them and they were apologetic. May 28th I received a shipment from Whistlepig - a bottle of the 15 year Estate Oak and two Simon Pearce glasses to apologize for the delay.
Very nice, and I appreciate it, but I'd really just like the two bottles.
My rep had to keep chasing, and by mid-June he had to go all the way up to the Chief Marketing Officer to push things forward.
June 22nd the Highland finish arrived. Islay still a ghost.
July 31st the Islay Cask arrived.
Huzzah!
But it doesn't end there. The cases have a slot inside the cover for a Certificate of Authenticity. My Glenmorangie finish has one, but the Ardbeg finish is missing its certificate. My rep is chasing that down.
There is another issue. These are not inexpensive bottles, and the way they were packed left a lot to be desired. The outer shipping box was sized such that the cases had to be on their side when the outer box was upright. Anyone who ships whisky regularly knows you want the bottles to be upright as much as possible.
The Glenmorangie bottle wasn't too worse for the wear, but the Ardbeg bottle seems to have had a rougher trip. When I opened the case the bottle was askew, sitting diagonally, stopper down. The brace that holds the neck on the bottle had been wrenched free from it's position by whatever impact moved the bottle. Fortunately it doesn't appear to have leaked and I was able to push things back into position.
Whistlepig, I like your products, but if you're going to try to get into the luxury market like this you're going to need to improve the process. As a 'concierge' sale product, the experience has left a lot to be desired. My LVMH rep has been stellar throughout the whole thing, but there should have been no need to chase things for eight months, and counting for that certificate.
I'd love to see you succeed, so take this as constructive criticism, please.
I normally don't mention the cost of things, but apparently there are still bottles of these available if you really want one, and hopefully your experience will be smoother than mine.
The Glenmorangie finish was US$3,750 and the Ardbeg finish was US$3,500. They're direct sale so you might need contact with an LVMH rep.
I will be trying these soon, alongside the original.

🥃 Widow Jane’s 10-Year Bourbon takes a bold turn with a finish in Tequila Ocho barrels. Bright citrus, tobacco, pecans, chocolate, mango, agave, and a peppery coffee finish create a unique bourbon-meets-tequila experience.

The world is a cesspool right now so I’m gonna drink lots of whiskey and hang out with Scully and Mulder for the next few hours. You can’t tell me what to do.

Finally. It was April when they said this would happen. The tariffs on Scotch are officially lifted July 24th. Actually, Scotch, English, Welsh, and Northern Irish whiskies.
https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2026/07/good-day-for-scotland-us-lifts-tariffs-on-scotch/
Now maybe I'll have my auction lots shipped. 😁

Wife broke down a whole sirloin tip tonight and besides saving money, rustled up some fine steaks for me and the kids.
It's funny to have a 3yo as a #foodie
Nibble[3F] Daddy, this cow is juicy and fwesh!! As she proudly waves her fork around with a chunk of beef flapping. On the other hand, she didn't care for creamed #cabbage
Sirloin over braised and creamed cabbage, pan fried green beans, and a whiskey mustard pan sauce

#PhotoOfTheDay is of this Shackleton whiskey I purchased a few years back. Pretty tasty and I'm scared to think what it costs these days with whiskey prices. I'm glad I'm not a big consumer of the stuff!

In May I discovered a new-to-me auction site, Fine Spirits Auction in France, and by lucky happenstance the first auction running had a Glenmorangie unicorn that I'd been hunting for years: Chateau de Meursault Wood Finish 12 year. It is Finished in Premier Cru White Burgundy Casks for two years after ten years in American Oak (almost certainly ex-bourbon).
I've only seen this come up on an auction site once before, in February, and bidding went to over 825GBP, before fees. That was crazy high and clearly someone really wanted it more than I did.
I was afraid I'd missed my chance, as the previous listing I found for it was in 2020, and the one before that was 2016. I wasn't sure I'd have another shot, but I made myself walk away at that price.
I'm glad I lost it, as I got this one for 208.60 EUR, including fees! That's actually less than it sold for six years ago. Even after factoring in shipping one bottle from France (which wasn't all that bad actually), it was a massive savings. Probably a quarter the total cost. Sometimes things work out in the end! 😁

We got very close to killing the Sazerac 18 last Saturday night along with the Pappy 23. It wasn't worth putting away, and we picked up BBQ for dinner this Friday, so I took one for the team and finished it myself. Sacrifices are sometimes required.
This was my favorite of the BTAC, which is why it went first. This was the Fall 2013 release, but it took me a while to get this one - it was the last of the five I obtained, around 2015 IIRC.
Still just as good.
