St George Spirits Description
St. George Single Malt Whiskey is an American original: distilled, aged, blended, and bottled by us out of love for what a handcrafted single malt can be.
We released Lot 1 of St. George Single Malt Whiskey in 2000; since then, each release has evolved a little since we’re able to draw from a wider selection of barrels with every new bottling. Head distiller/blender Dave Smith is now the chief custodian for our whiskey program, and it is his palate that now guides its evolution. Our 19th bottling, Lot 19, was released in fall 2019.
Lance’s brewing background strongly informed our whiskey’s mash bill—which uses various roast levels of two-row barley (pale malt, crystal malt, chocolate malt, black patent malt) as well as Bamberg malt (unroasted barley smoked over beech and alder wood). The mash bill for St. George Single Malt Whiskey has been unchanged since Lot 1.
St. George Single Malt Whiskey is an elegant expression of single malt. On the nose, Lot 19 expresses baked apple, dried stone fruit, nougat, and milk chocolate. On the palate, this mature single malt opens with rich maple and moves to semi-sweet chocolate in the mid-palate. Subsequent sips reinforce nougat and evolve into honey butter, finishing a bit drier than what you might expect from past releases of the Lot series.
