WhistlePig Whiskey is launching the limited-edition Dank & Dry Old Fashioned Cocktail.

WhistlePig is elevating the non-alcoholic cocktail experience with the addition of non-psychoactive cannabis terpenes to its signature Barrel Aged Maple Old Fashioned recipe. All of the proceeds of this limited-edition offering will benefit the bartending community.

WhistlePig’s reverse-distilled PiggyBack Rye ‘Non-Whiskey’ is balanced with barrel-aged maple syrup and Vermont cannabis terpenes for a unique non-alc cocktail experience. The non-psychoactive terpenes were cultivated from cannabis grown in whiskey barrels, and isolated by Satori Premium Cannabis in the Green Mountain State.

“At the intersection of non-alc and cannabis trends, terpenes offer a new frontier for flavor that we couldn’t resist experimenting with,” said Meghan Ireland, WhistlePig head blender. “The results are fire, with terpenes adding aromas and mouthfeel that are often missing from non-alc innovation. Whether you’re still walking the hog, enjoying the electric lettuce or abstaining altogether, WhistlePig fans do not have to miss out on a great tasting Old Fashioned this January.”

WhistlePig’s Dank & Dry Old Fashioned Cocktail is available in a 750 ml bottle for $49.99 and in the Hot Box Bundle with the addition of a pig-shaped cocktail smoker and a baggie of cocktail smoking chips for $64.20. Each bottle is presented in a gift box emblazoned with WhistlePig’s original logo with the pig wielding a left-hoof-cigarette.

WhistlePig is giving 100% of Dank & Dry Old Fashioned proceeds to bartenders through Turning Tables, a New Orleans non-profit whose vision is to cultivate leadership, create opportunity and change the face of hospitality by establishing a model and standard for equitable access for the Black and Brown hospitality community of New Orleans.
