Sips & Sites & Bites

A collaboration of epic proportions is lining up in the spirits industry as WhistlePig Whiskey and Solo Stove, the pioneering smokeless fire pits, are looking to gather folks around the campfire with new products.

In fact, WhistlePig and Solo Stove’s limited edition Campfire Kits will bring the campfire to you, giving you all the feels of a nostalgic summer camp experience. 

The two brands’ new Limited Edition CampStock Wheat Whiskey features a high wheat recipe, made with wheat whiskey alongside WhistlePig’s grain-to-glass rye. The final blend is finished in Solo Stove Toasted Barrels for a precise char and toast profile, before being bottled at 86 proof. 

The distiller notes that the new CampStock Wheat Whiskey offers notes of citrus, freshly toasted bread crust and vanilla for a well-rounded finish.

“We’ve experimented with wheat whiskey as part of our FarmStock series and other limited editions,” said Meghan Ireland, WhistlePig blender. “CampStock takes the soft and smooth wheat profile to a new level with 85 percent wheat whiskey, and an innovative Solo Stove Bonfire toasted barrel finish. No cooperage had ever used a Solo Stove on their barrel toasting platform, but Independent Stave Company was up for it, and the result was incredible.”

After bottling the whiskey, WhistlePig broke down their barrels to create Solo Stove’s limited edition Whiskey Barrel Firewood for campfires all across the country. Custom WhistlePig branded Solo Stove Mesa XL tabletop stoves complete the full Camp WhistlePig experience.

“At Solo Stove, we’re passionate about fostering connections and crafting memorable experiences that ignite around the fire,” said Luana Bumachar, chief marketing officer at Solo Stove. “This partnership embodies our commitment to bringing people together, infusing the embracing glow of a crackling fire with the bold taste of premium whiskey. It’s our invitation to spark conversations, share experiences, and forge enduring connections.”

They’re planning for Camp WhistlePig at the WhistlePig Farm & Distillery throughout the month of June, and enthusiasts have a chance to enroll by entering to win via a contest hosted by WhistlePig & Solo Stove until June 3rd on both partners’ social media channels. The camp, in Shoreham, Vermont, includes the full stave-to-stove experience, Solo Stove cookouts, WhistlePig S’mores Maple Old Fashioneds and Summer Camp classics.
