Sweetness Code
| Code | Description and Types |
|---|---|
| 0 | The very dry wine category includes many popular red wines (e.g. Bordeaux, Chianti, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir) and white wines (e.g. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio). Sparkling wines labelled as ‘Brut’ will also be very dry on the palate. |
| 1 -2 | These wines have a hint of sweetness in the mouth and include many Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer as well as many California-style red blends. |
| 3 -7 | In this category, wines will have noticeable sweetness but not enough to be considered dessert wines. Many Moscato and German wines labelled with the terms “Spätlese or Kabinett” will be included. |
| 8 -10 | The very sweet category includes the famous dessert wines of the world like Sauternes, Tokaji Aszú, Port and Cream Sherries. |

WhistlePig's oldest rye, patiently mellowed for 18 years. Before industrial distillation, America's original farmers would malt a small portion of their grain to start fermentation, the essential step that turns water and rye into glorious whiskey. As a nod to the farmers, Double Malt Rye is crafted from a mash bill of rye, malted rye and malted barley. History aside, these grains unite in a show-stopping rye whiskey that stretches far and wide across the flavour spectrum. Its base of 79% rye delivers bold, peppery spice, while 15% malted rye adds soft, floral and earthy character. A final 6% of malted barley brings rich, sweet, toasted notes. To take the expansive palate of WhistlePig Double Malt even further, the 4th Edition is finished in Spanish PX sherry casks. At once bold, complex, delicate and elegant, WhistlePig 18 is the whiskey that your most memorable toasts require, and a gem on any bar. Each annual edition of the Double Malt Rye is crowned with a bespoke glass topper, handmade in Vermont.
