Special, limited whiskey coming to 2 local stores

Two Dayton-area liquor stores will sell a special, limited-release bottling of WhistlePig rye whiskey on Friday.

The release, scheduled for 9 a.m., is the third in a four-part series of WhistlePig rye whiskeys that Ohio Division of Liquor Control representatives and WhistlePig Master Blender Pete Lynch selected for the Ohio market. The “Spicy Pig” and “Smooth Pig” have already been sold, and this Friday’s release is of the “Rich Pig,” aged for 11 years and bottled at 120 proof.

The whiskeys will be sold at Fine Wine & True Spirits, 6080 Wilmington Pike in Sugarcreek Twp., and at Arrow Wine & Spirits Far Hills Avenue store in Kettering. Each store will have 60 bottles to sell at $99.99 a bottle.

Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield also will sell 60 bottles, and Cappy’s Wine & Spirits in Loveland will have 54 bottles available.
