Rogue Morimoto Single Malt Whiskey is a collaboration between Rogue Ales & Spirits of Newport, Oregon, and Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Made from 100% malted barley and bottled at 105 proof (52.5% ABV), it is proofed high to preserve as much flavour as possible.
Rogue is famous for growing its own barley on its farms in Oregon and for turning it into beers and spirits under one roof. For the Morimoto whiskey, the malt is distilled and then aged in char #3 new American oak barrels, a heavier char that brings out rich colour and caramelised sweetness.
Chef Morimoto, known worldwide for his restaurants and his years on Iron Chef, first partnered with Rogue on beers before the two turned to whiskey. The result is a single malt with deep malt complexity, hints of oak and cherry wood, and warm spice on the palate, designed to stand up to food.
The bold label, featuring Morimoto's calligraphy, makes it an eye-catching gift for whiskey lovers and food lovers alike.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
