Crafted with precision and finesse, this exceptional creation emerges from the harmonious marriage of four distinct casks from The Boss Hog VII & VIII. The infusion of Spanish Oak, South American Teakwood, and Single Island Philippine Rum Barrels aged for 7 and 10 years imparts a depth of character and flavor that is truly remarkable.
Every bottle of this is adorned with a pair of hand-cut Danforth pewter toppers, featuring iconic depictions of Magellan and LapuLapu locked in their historic final battle.
Following LapuLapu's triumphant victory in the Philippines, a lone surviving vessel from the Magellan-Elcano expedition embarked on a momentous journey back to Andalusian Spain, marking the world's inaugural circumnavigation. Five hundred and one years later, The Boss Hog pays homage to this epic odyssey with "The One That Made It Around the World."
To fashion this exceedingly rare "B-side" of The Boss Hog legacy, eleven barrels from The Boss Hog VIII were intertwined with the four barrels from the VII/VIII sequel. These exceptional spirits were nurtured in the heart of Andalucia, Espana, and were lost at sea in the spring of 2022. WhistlePig joyfully commemorates their recovery with a limited edition collection of toppers, inspired by the spirit of resilience and resistance.
