Vermont is home to the whiskey distillery WhistlePig. The distillery specializes in producing 'ultra-premium' rye whiskey, which it dominated by itself in the early 21st century when most rye whiskey cost around $20 per bottle. The WhistlePig distillery was built on land that businessman Raj Bhakta bought in 2007. The whiskey company was established in 2010, and their 10-year rye was introduced in 2015.
