The Boss Hog Edition ? is the first American Whiskey finished using Japanese Umeshu, the result of a true collaboration between WhistlePig and Kitaya brewery on Japan's Kyushu island.

Each bottle is adorned with The Samurai Scientist – J?kichi Takamine – who pioneered koji fermentation in the American whisky industry over a century ago. This 5th edition of The Boss Hog, The Spirit of Mauve, is a 13 Year Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Calvados Casks in honour of their celebrity pet pig, Mauve's undying love of apples.
