WhistlePig Declaration is a limited-edition High Wheat American whiskey from Shoreham, Vermont, released to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States (1776–2026) and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
Having mastered rye and taken on bourbon, WhistlePig now plants its flag in what it calls the next great American grain: wheat. Declaration is crafted to offer a softer, more approachable profile than rye while keeping the complexity the brand is known for.
To give it a bold, structured character, the spirit is double aged in new American oak, drawing deep colour and rich wood sugars from the barrels to complement the delicate sweetness of the wheat.
The result is an easy-sipping whiskey of creamy sweetness and toasty oak, with sweet vanilla and toasted notes. A commemorative bottling for America's anniversary, it makes a memorable gift.
Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or in a highball.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
A wheat whiskey is built around wheat as its main grain, which tends to give a softer, rounder and gently sweet character than rye.
WhistlePig is based on a farm in Shoreham, Vermont, and is best known for its rye whiskeys.
New American oak barrels give generous colour along with vanilla and caramel sweetness, and ageing in a second fresh barrel deepens those flavours further.
