Coming Soon
The Boss Hog VIII: Lapulapu's Pacific will be coming a little later in 2021, and will be a straight rye finished in single-island Philippine rum barrels. The label also states that it will be bottled at 104.8 proof, and this is just the second Boss Hog release to not bear an age statement - 2019's The Samurai Scientist was also not stated.
It's worth nothing that the primary label reads "hand bottled somewhere around the world," while almost all other WhistlePig releases state "hand bottled on the WhistlePig farm." The lower label has a "handwritten" space for where it was bottled, but it's unclear if that will vary from bottle to bottle.
Lapulapu was a ruler of the Philippine island of Mactan who, in 1521, defeated Ferdinand Magellan and ended his circumnavigation of the globe. As a follow-up to last year's The Boss Hog VII: Magellan's Atlantic, this continues WhistlePig's exploration theme and marks the fifth straight year of experimenting with really unique barrel finishes from around the world.
