Local brewers and distillers worked together to craft this grain-to-glass whiskey; a limited-edition spirit soaked in tradition and forged through innovation. Single malt whiskey is distilled from one type of malt (it’s almost always malted barley) under the roof of one distillery. It’s a style commonly associated with Scotch and Irish whiskies but there is currently a movement underway to establish single malt whiskey as its own official category here in the United States. This is a collaboration project with our friends at Firestone Walker Brewing Company. We made a mash with the same premium-quality grains Firestone uses to brew their award-winning beer, sour fermented it with native yeasts and bacteria, and aged the whiskey for over 3 years in charred American oak barrels.
