The Boss Hog Edition 六 (Six) is the first American whiskey to be finished using Japanese Umeshu barrels, resulting from a unique collaboration with the Kitaya brewery on Japan’s Kyushu island. This well-aged straight rye whiskey, crafted using koji fermentation, honors Jōkichi Takamine, the Samurai Scientist who pioneered this method in the American whiskey industry over a century ago.
