WILDLY CRAFTED
WHAT IS AMERICAN SINGLE MALT WHISKEY?
An American single malt whiskey is defined as a whiskey produced in a single U.S distillery with a mash consisting of 100% malted barley. While crafting, the whiskey must be stored in smaller batch oak barrels with a finished distillation proof of 160 and bottled with at least an 80 proof finished product.

AWARD-WINNING WHISKEY
OUR PROCESS
The first markers of quality show at grain selection, which is why we only use quality, locally grown barley for our whiskey.
SO MUCH DEPENDS ON THE GRAIN.
Once harvested, the barley is ground into a fine meal, mixed with water, and cooked until the starches convert into sugars. Next, yeast is added, which converts the sugars into alcohol.
KEEP IT HOT
What’s left is a fermentation mash, also known as beer. The mixture is pumped into a still and heated, where evaporation and steam condensation allows the alcohol to separate from the water and grain byproducts.
GIVE IT TIME
Now it’s time to age our whiskey. Using new techniques that significantly cuts down the amount of American White Oak needed, our whiskey ages through a process that allows us to get more out of the wood for less- a solution that is both eco-friendly and time effective!
SIP AWAY!
Barrel maturation weaves in the oak and sherry flavors, resulting in a refined, cask strength goodness that’s caramelly in color.
Once the whiskey is properly aged, it’s ready to be bottled.
Sip and enjoy!
