Barrell American Vatted Malt Whiskey
Sale price
$240.00
Regular price $210.00In 2019, Barrell partnered with small and large producers across the United States to select malt whiskeys that express the full diversity of American terroir and style. The resulting blend, Barrell American Vatted Malt Whiskey, was the first to showcase the growing category of American single malt in this way. Barrell American Vatted Malt Whiskey is an homage to the old Scottish category of vatted malt, which was once the preferred nomenclature to describe a blended whisky made entirely from single malts.
The Barrell American Vatted Malt Whiskey was a challenging one technically, as it brought together a variety of unique components. Barrell strived to balance the distinctive tang of Southwestern mesquite smoke with the sweet and creamy maltiness of malted barley, and to contrast briny coastal peat with the warm vanilla character of toasted oak. The resulting blend is complex and multi-faceted, rewarding the drinker with unfolding layers of flavor.
Many of the components in Barrell American Vatted Malt Whiskey, in the first blend came from emerging distilleries that had not traded or sold bulk whiskey before. The core group of participants includes:
• Balcones Distillery, Waco, Texas
• Hamilton Distillers Del Bac, Tucson, Arizona
• MGP, Lawrenceburg, Indiana
• Harvest Distillery, Valatie, New York
• Santa Fe Distillery, Santa Fe, New Mexico
• Kings County Distillery, Brooklyn, New York
