When Jimmy's daughter Lily was born in 2014, they decided to start something different and founded the John Emerald Distilling Company in the small town of Opelika, naming it after John's father. Alongside rum, spiced rum, gin and vodka, the Alabama Single Malt is their signature spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoking the malt over pecan and peach wood, two Southern woods, gives a gentle, sweet smoke rather than the peat of Scotch, and the small casks bring rich oak character to the malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a distinctive gift and a true taste of Alabama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican single malt is made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery, the same core rule as Scotch single malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall casks give the spirit more contact with the wood, so oak flavor develops faster than in standard 53-gallon barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePecan and peach are classic woods of the American South, and their smoke is sweeter and gentler than peat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpelika sits in east Alabama, near Auburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA splash of water opens the smoke and fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Emerald Distilling Co., Opelika, Alabama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American single malt whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoke:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pecan and peach wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small 15-gallon casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alabama, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a splash of water, or mix a smoky Old Fashioned.
