An epic sequel to the World's Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu's Pacific completes our journey around the world, unfurling a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself. Upon crossing the Pacific, Captain Magellan met his fate at the hands of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. A fierce and vociferous defender of independence, LapuLapu led his island home against the Spaniards. There he forged a successful fortification, staving off colonial occupation for more than forty years. In honor of our new hero, this rare edition sees a double finish in high toast, small batch, single island Philippine Rum casks, adding layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes to an already deeply complex, well aged Rye Whiskey. LapuLapu's Pacific is a profound statement of strength and independence, a spectacular sequel to Magellan's Atlantic. This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof.

While Rebel Bourbon might have risen to fame by replacing rye with wheat, they still recognize the qualities that rye has to offer. With a mash bill consisting of rye grain, corn and malt, their Straight Rye Whiskey is described as a "defiantly smooth whiskey". This is a small batch rye that is produced and sold in limited quantities. Bottled at 90 proof, this smooth, spicy rye has a mildly woody palate where spicy rye is balanced by sweet vanilla notes.
