When WhistlePig releases a new bottle, it chooses to venture off the beaten path. It is more than the brand’s master distiller’s willingness to rebel against the status quo. The infusion of creativity proves America’s spirit celebrates ingenuity in a glass. To kick of 2025, WhistlePig is cranking up the volume. With the help of Alica Cooper, Sex, Drugs, Rock and Dry Old Fashioned kicks off an unforgettable set of shocking flavors.
From the Sober Curious movement to Dry January, many people resolve to reduce their liquor consumption. While there are plenty of mocktails to be sipped, some people prefer to have more than just a fruity concoction or a bubbly beverage.
Last year, WhistlePig saw people respond to its “dank” offering. While it might not be quite as elevated as the celebrated Badonkadonk, it found an audience. For 2025, the celebrated whiskey brand rooted around a little more, smashed expectations, and embraced the darker side of dry.
The Sex, Drugs, Rock and Dry Old Fashioned is a limited time offering that could give drinkers a new perspective on Dry January. According to the brand, the Dry Old Fashioned features: “100% Rye Non-Whiskey, Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup, adaptogenic Cordyceps and Schisandra Berry, and aphrodisiac Damiana.”
Offering some insight on this special offering, Meghan Ireland, WhistlePig’s Head Blender said, “Last year’s Dank January release showed us that fans are here to hang loose, whatever they’re sipping this month. Dry January drinker should miss out on a high quality Old Fashioned made with real, aged Rye ‘Non-Whiskey’, nor the freedom to be obscene (even if they’re clean).”
WhistlePig joins with the Godfather of Shock Rock to launch Sex, Drugs, Rock and Dry Old Fashioned
Since WhistlePig never does a quiet launch, the distiller partnered with Alice Cooper for the Sex, Drugs, Rock and Dry Old Fashioned. Although this offering is a way for some people to Feed The Frankenstein, everyone is worthy of opening a bottle and enjoying the carefully crafted beverage.
Speaking about this collaboration, rock legend Alice Cooper said, “I’ve been shocking audiences for years with snakes, guillotines, and enough fake blood to fill the Grand Canyon. But now these maniacs at WhistlePig have gone and SHOCKED ME with a non-alcoholic cocktail. Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Old Fashioned is a lethal injection of flavors proving you don’t need to be drunk to be punk.”
While this special offering might be the new take on a birdie shot that keeps the back nine rolling, the partnership with Cooper and WhistlePig is a smart one. The celebration of a rock legend showcasing that dry drinking is just as rebellious as smashing another pint changes the conversation. Sometimes it is better to look beyond the flash, shock, and awe to discover the flavor that makes a mark for years to come.
This particular WhistlePig Dry Old Fashioned has a curious flavor journey. While the citrus note is apparent, it is a new riff on that classic approach. Candied lime adds a zesty sweetness. When combined with summer berries, a black pepper spice, and some wild herbs, the cocktail hits highs, lows, and every chord in between. Plus, that punch of mushroom umami is like the underlying ear worm that brings you back to determine what makes this WhistlePig offering so compelling.
The WhistlePig Sex, Drugs, Rock and Dry Old Fashioned is available now for $49.99 a bottle. Additionally, a limited edition “Go Pig Go Bundle” includes a rye-infused vinyl of Alice Cooper’s album “Breadcrumbs” for $199.99.
It is time to crank up the volume on dry drinking. WhistlePig hogs the spotlight with this release and it will never give up the limelight for anyone.
