Break-even Bottle No. 26 | WhistlePig The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic | The Cottage

Our break-even bottles are exquisite and rare, outside of what you’ll typically see on menus. One of those drinks that you savor and immediately want to share with your best friend. We feel the same way and want to share these with you, so we’re selling these bottles in 1 oz. pours for cost. (Which is, legally speaking, the lowest we can go.) Tuesdays only, we open the bottle at 4p and sell 1 oz pours until it’s gone.

Reservations (https://resy.com/cities/bol/the-cottage-bothell) recommended but not required.

Bottle No. 26 and we’re celebrating half a year of break-even with something amazing…WhistlePig’s The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic! The Boss Hog embodies WhistlePig’s enduring quest to create the finest and most interesting Rye Whiskey – a pursuit that carries them to the very edges of the earth.

Inspired by the first recorded circumnavigation of the globe, The Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic is a Straight Rye Whiskey with an uncharted cask journey that stretches across continents. After seventeen years of slumber in American Oak, it first encounters new Spanish staves from the mountainous forests of northern Spain; a cask nearly impossible to tame yet well worth the effort. Crossing the Atlantic the whiskey finds its finish in fragrant South American teakwood.

This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 105.1 and 107.8 proof.

NOSE: Intensely aromatic, with cinnamon sugar, allspice, and maple. With time, toasted wood notes arise alongside creamy vanilla, roasted almonds, and a touch of ground espresso.

PALATE: Spicy cloves and sweet brandied cherries abound, with baking spices rampant. A closer look reveals subtle hints of charred oak, sage, and dark chocolate.

FINISH: Everlasting; gobs of cinnamon, oak spice, and a gentle warmth demand another sip.

PRICE: 20.36 | approximately 25 servings

Event Cost: $20.36
