From coast to coast, American whiskey producers are expanding their offerings beyond the patriotic staples of bourbon and the newly resurgent rye. The emerging, brave new world of whiskey now being explored is the realm of American ເຫຼົ້າຂາວ malt ດຽວ.Just don't call it Scotch.

 

While bourbon and rye go back hundreds of years in the United States, single malt whiskey is nowhere to be found. Quite simply, in the minds of most people, single malt whiskey is equated only with Scotch. About twenty years ago, some American pioneers emerged, and today, dozens more are finally beginning to follow suit.

The History of American Whiskey

 

Whiskey's origins can be traced back to the medieval monks of Ireland and Scotland, but now both countries have their own distinctive styles of native spirits. The same is true of American whiskey - the original concept may have been imported from distant lands, but some 300 years later, American whiskey ...... is a product unto itself.

 

American whiskey began as an unprocessed, unaged spirit whose main characteristic was its ability to stimulate the courage of the first colonists. Over the years, whiskey has evolved into the complex, big-bodied, distinctive American bourbon, rye, and Tennessee whiskeys that connoisseurs taste today, grandmothers sip, bar patrons toss, and almost every American "discovers" them when they reach the magical age of 21. American whiskey itself, after 300 years of adolescence, shaped by every major event that affected its homeland, has reached maturity in recent years. Sometimes, the opposite is true - whiskey has influenced the country itself.

 

Whiskey manufacturing was one of the earliest cottage industries in the land; it was the reason George Washington first mustered the Union army, and when early pioneers explored new territories westward, whiskey came with them. During the Civil War, whiskey was a spirit of controversy, in part because Grant never served a third term in the White House. Whiskey spurred American women to lead a crusade that led to Prohibition and played a role in every major war this country has ever experienced. In short, where Americans have been, American whiskey has been - and where whiskey has traveled, Americans have been influenced by it.

In fact, bourbon was so damn American that in 1964, Congress itself recognized it as "a distinctly American product. While straight rye and Tennessee whiskeys received no such accolades, they traveled the same dusty trails that led to today's superhighways and are as distinctly American as any bourbon.

 

When the first settlers arrived on this continent, their love of alcohol in almost any form led to a chain of events that eventually led to the birth of distinctly American whiskey. By tracing the settlers' desire to quench their thirst, we can chart the development of American whiskey from the early days of Virginia and New England settlers through to the present day. In addition, we can trace the creation of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey back to their roots - a rare opportunity when the subject is food or drink.

 

What is American Single Malt Whiskey?

 

The straightforward definition of a single malt whiskey is a whiskey produced at a single distillery using malted barley as the sole grain in the wort. While single malt whiskeys are produced all over the world, they are most commonly found in Scotland.

 

The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), which administers all legal liquor and labeling requirements in the country, does not currently provide a definition for U.S. single malts. Instead, it provides a more generic classification of "malt whiskey. In the past, U.S. single malt production has been so small that there has never been a need for a strict regulatory definition of it.

The vague category of malt whisky which the TTB does have could include single malts, but it also incorporates what is known in Scotland as grain whisky—whisky made from malted barley, as well as other grains, such as corn. Therefore, it's basically muddying the waters by clumping multiple styles together.

 

A defined American single malt category, though, could be as simple as: whiskey distilled from 100 percent malted barley by a single distillery within the United States. It's the American equal to single malt Scotch.

 

New Styles

 

With the rise of the craft distilling movement, there are now dozens of distilleries producing American single malt whiskeys, and a variety of styles are beginning to emerge. (Consider how much the regional climate varies in the United States - remember that weather and climate affect how whiskey is aged). In Texas and the American Southwest, smoky single malts are starting to emerge. Meanwhile, on the coasts, producers are capturing the same savory character favored by certain Scotch whiskies. How all of these different styles will eventually be classified and defined will take place over the next few years.

 

Early efforts have already contributed to the classification of American single malts. Most notably, a few months ago, a group of American distillers known for producing single malt whiskeys held what was dubbed the "American Single Malt Summit." The goal was to figure out how to properly promote this emerging category so that it is recognized and understood by consumers, gets proper shelf space in stores, and is distinguished from other American-made whiskeys and Scotch whiskies.

 

In the meantime, the best way to understand American single malt whiskey is to sample some of the products offered in the category. Here are a dozen distilleries worth exploring that represent not only some of the best American single malts currently being made but also the category's exciting diversity and utterly vast possibilities.

3) FEW Spirits (Evanston, Ill.) FEW is best known for their bourbons and ryes, as well as an exciting lineup of gins. few also produce single malts. According to founder Paul Hletko, they also use a portion of cherry wood smoked malt, as well as unsmoked malt. few single malts are spicy and malty, with a prominent wood influence.

 

4) Hamilton Distillers (Tucson, Arizona). Hamilton Distillers produces the Del Bac line of single malts, led by its signature Del Bac Dorado, a single malt whiskey smoked with Wheatstone.

The Dorado is all big mesquite roast with pepper and spice, plus a sweetness in the background.

As a result, its profile changes from year to year, but expect a lighter, fruitier whisky overall, with floral and herbal notes.
