As a whiskey enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for unique and innovative releases.

The result of this partnership is CampStock Wheat Whiskey, a blend of wheat and rye that’s been aged in barrels charred by a Solo Stove.

The Story Behind CampStock
WhistlePig is no stranger to collaborations, having previously partnered with brands like Pit Viper and Traeger. This latest partnership with Solo Stove is a natural fit, given the outdoor enthusiast vibe of both brands. The whiskey itself is a blend of 85% wheat whiskey and 15% straight rye, with the rye being grain-to-glass whiskey made at WhistlePig’s Vermont distillery.
The Aging Process
What sets CampStock apart is the unique aging process. The barrels were toasted and charred using a Solo Stove, giving the whiskey a distinct flavor profile. According to WhistlePig, this process achieves a “smokeless toast” that adds depth to the whiskey without overpowering it.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, CampStock Wheat Whiskey is sweet and inviting, with hints of honey and brown sugar. The palate is smooth and gentle, with flavors of marshmallow, milk chocolate, and a hint of cinnamon-apple. The finish is long and satisfying, with a touch of peppery spice from the rye grain.
