St. George Single Malt (Lot 14), 43%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2014 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Single Malt American Whiskey
This release is based on a mash done at Sierra Nevada brewery, aged in eight different types of casks (including apple brandy and white wine) running from 4 to 15 years old. Delicate fruit, nuts, and sweet malt combine like perfect pastry in the nose. Add a bit of unsweetened chocolate on the palate, finishing with a lingering reminiscence of every bit of flavor, and you have a beautifully integrated whiskey that is unmistakably St. George. Delightful.
