An epic sequel to the World's Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu's Pacific completes a journey around the world with a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself.
Honoring the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu, this rare single barrel expression features a double finish in high toast, small batch Philippine rum casks. The result is a powerfully complex whiskey with layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes layered over a deeply aged rye foundation.
Bottled at barrel strength between 104.8 and 106.6 proof, this is a profound statement of strength and independence. On the nose, rich vanilla gives way to tropical notes of underripe banana, lemon, and molasses. The palate delivers fresh ground cinnamon, citrus zest, butterscotch, and toffee. The finish lingers with tanned leather, brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, and black pepper rye spice.
Distinctly unique and stupendously complex—a spectacular sequel worthy of its legendary namesake.
