WhistlePig The Boss Hog VIII Lapulapu's Four Around the World

The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu's Pacific is an epic sequel in WhistlePig's legendary rye whiskey series, completing a global journey as bold and complex as the spirit itself. This rare single barrel expression is bottled at barrel strength (104.8–106.6 proof) and finished in high-toast Philippine rum casks, delivering layers of warm spice and tropical notes atop a deeply aged rye foundation. Inspired by the fierce Filipino warrior LapuLapu, this whiskey honors independence and strength. On the nose, rich vanilla gives way to delicate tropical aromas—underripe banana, lemon, and molasses. The palate reveals abundant cinnamon, citrus zest, butterscotch, and toffee, while the finish lingers with tanned leather, brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, and classic rye spice. A profoundly complex, powerfully unique expression for the serious whiskey collector.
