In our pursuit of an authentically American single malt whiskey, we bring our signature five-malt barley bill together with new American oak casks-two things practically unheard of in the old world. This combination produces a dramatically different whiskey from what is now commonplace and expected in the single malt category. But just as traditional styles of single malt from Scotland emerged as a reflection of regions such as Islay and Speyside, so too does our American Oak stay true to the provenance of our Pacific Northwest home. Tasting Notes: A nose of lemon and orange custard, waffle cone, crème brûlée, chocolate custard, jasmine. A palate of rich fruit, Rainier cherries, Swiss chocolate, almond, bananas, cream, Turkish coffee.
