WhistlePig The Badnkdonk is a 25-year single malt whiskey, one of the oldest ever made in North America matured in new American oak, sourced from Canada and moved to the Vermont farm in 2020 to finish its aging in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from Silver Oak Cellars in Alexander Valley. Twenty-five years is an extraordinary rest for single malt outside Scotland, and the Cabernet finish adds a red-wine fruit layer on top of that depth. Bottled at 45.5% ABV. This is a genuine collector’s whiskey, built for a specific occasion rather than a regular pour. Pour it neat, in a proper glass, and take your time.
