MIDDLEBURY, Vt., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WhistlePig Whiskey, #1 distiller in the ultra-premium and luxury rye whiskey category in North America, is pleased to reveal its first ever 100% grain-to-glass whiskey from the WhistlePig Farm. To unveil this one-of-a-kind offering, WhistlePig has enlisted Mecum Auctions, the world leader in live auctions of collector and classic cars, antique motorcycles, vintage tractors and Road Art memorabilia with events across the U.S., to auction off the first barrel from the Beyond Bonded collection. The barrel will be auctioned off LIVE on Saturday May 15th at Mecum's Spring Classic event in Indianapolis, and portions of the auction will be broadcast on NBC Sports nationwide.

Proceeds from the winning bid, which is expected to command a price similar to that of an exclusive car often sold at Mecum auctions, are to be donated by WhistlePig to Farm Aid, a non-profit organization that promotes and works to build a strong, resilient family farm system of agriculture that benefits farmers, eaters, communities and our soil and water.

The auction lot will include Barrel No. 0001 of WhistlePig Beyond Bonded FarmStock Rye, bottled by hand as two hundred 750ml units. This Straight Rye Whiskey is crafted from 100% Remington Rye harvested on the WhistlePig Farm, distilled and proofed with local water, and aged in Vermont Estate Oak casks for 4 years, 8 months and 14 days. It is bottled at 100.1 proof, a hair beyond the 19th century Bottled in Bond requirement of 100 proof. The winning bidder will also receive the empty barrel and a grain-to-glass experience at the WhistlePig Farm & Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont.

"The rare whiskey auction and investor world has been incredibly exciting to watch, but so far largely dominated by scotch. When our first barrel of Beyond Bonded was ready, we knew it was time to get involved, and lead the American Whiskey category in this space," says Jeff Kozak, CEO, WhistlePig Whiskey.

Whiskey fans across the country are encouraged to join the bidding war for the first Beyond Bonded barrel by visiting http://www.mecum.com/collector-cars/register-to-bid to register before the auction on May 15th. Collectors outside Indianapolis will be able to bid online before the event and/or live on the phone. To learn more about the WhistlePig auction lot please visit: https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0521-478563/whistle-pig/

"FarmStock Beyond Bonded is our boldest dream yet. Each individual barrel is an untapped expression of the WhistlePig Farm. We're thrilled to align with Mecum and Farm Aid, Mecum has the perfect platform to unveil a whiskey of this magnitude and we are so pleased to share that 100% of the proceeds from the winning bid will be donated to Farm Aid, further emphasizing our commitment to supporting sustainable farming and farmers in the United States," says Emily Harrison, Lead Distiller, WhistlePig Whiskey.

"We welcome the opportunity to bring this unique offering from WhistlePig to our customers and clientele, especially in support of a worthy cause like Farm Aid," said Mecum Chief Operating Officer Sam Murtaugh. "Our team is looking forward to helping raise awareness and support for sustainable farming nationwide."

"Farm Aid loves to share innovative and inspiring stories of farm to market success, and we congratulate WhistlePig on making Farm Stock Beyond Bonded Whiskey from rye grown on its own soils. Proceeds from the Mecum Auction for Farm Aid will benefit farmers whose essential work provides for all of us and cares for the soil and water," said Glenda Yoder, Associate Director, Farm Aid.

FarmStock Beyond Bonded Rye Whiskey will make its official debut later this Spring, hitting shelves and sold alongside the rest of WhistlePig's award-winning portfolio of rye whiskies. Consumers will be able to find their own bottle of Beyond Bonded Rye at select premium liquor stores and online retailers. With just 40 barrels making up the first ever Beyond Bonded Rye Whiskey collection, the offering is one of WhistlePig's most exclusive to date. While bottles will be sold at premium retailers, bars and restaurants across the US, the inaugural barrel auction at Mecum will be the one and only opportunity to acquire a full barrel of WhistlePig FarmStock Beyond Bonded.

Further information on FarmStock Beyond Bonded Rye Whiskey will be released later this month. In the meantime, fans can find WhistlePig's current FarmStock Rye expression, a Rye blend with 52% farm-to-glass whiskey released in 2019, by visiting shop.whistlepigwhiskey.com/farmstock.
