WhistlePig Smoked Fashioned Cocktail To-Go 375ml
Description
WhistlePig Smoked Fashioned Cocktail To-Go 375ml. WhistlePig Farm, Shoreham, Vermont — a pre-batched, barrel-aged Old Fashioned cocktail built on WhistlePig PiggyBack 6-year rye and Runamok pure Vermont maple syrup smoked with pecan wood, creating a bartender-approved ready-to-drink experience that brings the craft of a properly made smoked Old Fashioned to wherever you happen to be.
The Smoked Fashioned solves the oldest cocktail problem: the best Old Fashioneds require a bartender, a bar, and time. WhistlePig built this pre-batched version around two premium Vermont ingredients — their own PiggyBack 6-year 100% rye whiskey and Runamok maple syrup, the Vermont small-batch producer known for their innovative flavored syrups. Runamok's pecan wood-smoked maple syrup is specifically chosen: the pecan smoke adds a warm, nutty smokiness to the maple's natural sweetness, creating a sweetener that does double duty as both the cocktail's sugar component and a smoke element that eliminates the need for a separate smoking step. The result is barrel-aged in small barrels before bottling to further integrate the components, producing a texture and complexity that standard pre-mixed cocktails don't achieve.
At 375ml, the Smoked Fashioned To-Go is sized for convenience — a half-bottle that serves multiple cocktails, perfect for a picnic, camping, a dinner party, or anywhere a full bar isn't available. Just pour over ice and enjoy.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: WhistlePig rye's cinnamon and pepper character alongside the Runamok maple syrup's pecan smoke and sweetness. Warm and inviting.
- Palate: The pre-batched Old Fashioned character — rye spice and maple sweetness in balance, with the pecan wood smoke providing the third dimension that elevates it beyond a standard sweetened rye. Barrel aging creates a rounded, integrated texture.
- Finish: The rye's natural spice and the pecan-smoked maple sweetness fade together in a satisfying close that rewards the zero effort of pouring over ice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Runamok maple syrup? A Vermont small-batch maple syrup producer known for innovative flavored and infused syrups. Their pecan wood-smoked maple syrup is made by smoking the finished maple syrup over pecan wood, adding a warm, nutty smokiness to the maple's natural sweetness without adding any artificial flavors or sweeteners.
- How do you serve the Smoked Fashioned? Pour over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. The pre-batching and barrel aging mean it's complete as poured — no additional ingredients needed. A large orange peel garnish is optional but enhances the experience. The 375ml bottle serves multiple cocktails.
- How does barrel aging improve a pre-batched cocktail? Small barrel aging integrates the spirit, sweetener, and any bitters components more completely than bottle blending alone, rounding the texture and creating a more seamless mouthfeel. The result is closer to a cocktail that has been stirred by an experienced bartender and allowed to rest than a freshly mixed drink.
