It is bottled at 50% ABV, and only 462 bottles were produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHotaling \u0026amp; Co., home of Old Potrero and the former Anchor Distilling, began its Christmas Spirit tradition by distilling the brewery's annual holiday ale, a recipe that changes every year. The resulting whiskey carries the spice and malt of the festive beer, deepened by years in rye barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings spiced fruitcake, candied orange, evergreen, apple and cocoa. On the palate come malt, baking spices, ginger, hops and toasted oak, and the finish brings roasted malt and white peppercorn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe festive label with its Christmas tree makes it a perfect holiday gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it neat by the fire, or with a splash of water.\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\u003eDistilling beer rather than a plain wash is how all malt whiskey begins, but using a finished, spiced holiday ale carries its seasonal character into the spirit. Each year's Christmas ale is different, so every Christmas Spirit release is a snapshot of one particular year's brew, which makes the series a favourite with collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spiced fruitcake, candied orange, evergreen and cocoa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malt, baking spice, ginger, hops and toasted oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted malt and white peppercorn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hotaling \u0026amp; Co.
