Piggyback is the younger sibling of the Whistlepig 10-year-old. It is made from 100% Rye matured for 6 years before being bottled at 48.28% ABV. Both stylistically and price-wise the Piggyback is meant to work both on its own as well as for mixing in cocktails.

A release from Alberta Distillers! 100% Rye - bottled at 42% after maturing in new charred oak casks and ex-bourbon barrels.
From The Producer
"Reifel Rye has been created in honour of George H. Reifel. The legendary master distiller who laid the foundations of Alberta Distillers 75 years ago, and whose standards, commitment to the craft, belief in local ingredients, obsession with extraordinary flavour, and adventurous spirit still characterize ADL’s distilling culture today. Reifel Rye is a masterpiece George would be proud of. This high rye spirit is aged in charred white oak and ex bourbon barrels. It is a feast of a whisky with notes of toffee, banana bread, chocolate, poached pear and crème brûlée. An unconventional whisky with unexpected depths. High Rye, Deep Character from the Distillery Of The Decade."

This whisky is not without some controversy. Like a lot of 100% rye whiskies bottled in the States, Pendleton and Mastersons to name a few Whistle Pigs origins are here in Calgary at Alberta Distillers. In order to get rye grains to ferment, you require at least some malted rye or barley. Alberta Distillers is one of the few places in the world where a straight rye mash is distilled.
