St. George Single Malt Whiskey is a pioneering American single malt from St. George Spirits in Alameda, California, released in annual lots and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
St. George first laid its single malt down in barrel in 1997 and released Lot 1 in 2000, making it one of the longest-running American single malt programmes in the United States. Its complex, multi-layered profile comes from malted barley at diverse roasting levels and an eclectic variety of aging casks.
Each annual lot varies slightly while keeping a core identity, so every release is a little different.
A true pioneer of the American single malt category, it makes a fine gift for whisky explorers.
Enjoy it neat or with a drop of water.
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.
American single malt whiskey is made from 100% malted barley, mashed, distilled and matured in the United States. Using barley malted to different roasting levels, from pale to darker, adds layers of flavour from biscuit and honey to cocoa and coffee, much as a brewer builds a complex beer.
Founded in 1982, St. George Spirits is one of America's original craft distilleries, and its single malt helped prove that great malt whisky could be made outside Scotland.
