As you already know we rejected 3 previous barrel picks from Elijah Craig and waited 6 more months to get the pick that fits our profile. Also, a huge shoutout to Dram Code for assisting us on this barrel. Hope you enjoy this barrel pick as much as we did. Cheers!
Peated Single Malt has been inspired by classic production methods and fueled by American innovation. We source peated barley from Scotland, use mineral rich water from Sierra snowmelt, and age in first-fill bourbon barrels to produce a whisky that is smoky, fruity, and well rounded.(46% ABV)
46% ABV (92 proof). Copper pot stilled single malt made in San Jose, CA. Imported malted barley from Scotland. The STR is a non-peated style, and STR stands for the maturation process; the casks are shaved, toasted, and recharred ex-bourbon barrels. 750ml $65.
Distiller’s Cut is a malt lover’s dream. We stick to Old World tradition for our boldest, smokiest whisky. Using all copper pot stills, unique cuts during distillation, imported peated barley, and aged in bourbon barrels; this appeal to the malt and peat lover has hints of citrus and berry, while delivering a woody, earthy, and smoky statement.
