WhistlePig PiggyBack Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber Single Barrel Rye Whiskey

WhistlePig PiggyBack Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is a limited-edition six-year-old rye selected for the Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber. The label identifies this as a PiggyBack single-barrel release made from 100% rye whiskey, aged in new American oak, then finished in OATH gin barrels. Those Finnish gin barrels were created with racing driver Valtteri Bottas and use oats and apple peels from Finland. The bottle is filled at 50.385% ABV / 100.77 proof, a reference to Bottas’s racing number 77, in the standard 750 mL format.

The gin-cask finish adds a distinctive layer to PiggyBack’s rye profile. Published notes for this exact Stake F1 release emphasize crisp apple and delicate pine alongside the whiskey’s rye-driven spice and oak. The black-and-green package carries Single Barrel, Limited Edition, Stake F1 Team, and Kick Sauber wording, keeping the motorsport collaboration integral to the physical edition rather than treating it as separate promotional copy. This is the 2024 Stake F1 Team barrel release, not the standard PiggyBack Rye or another variable-proof single-barrel selection.
