In September, we decided to stay over across the 'pond' and sample US Single Malt whiskies...
The three whiskies imbibed were:
Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky
- 53% ABV
- Matured in ex-Bourbon Casks
- Made with unpeated 100% malted barley - combines small batches of the whisky aged in different sized barrels before blending them together to finish maturation in one big barrel. Non chill-filtered.
FEW Triple Malt Smoked
- 46.5% ABV
- Made with barley smoked with cherry wood, mesquite wood and apple wood, this is a rich and oily American spirit with a distinctive smoky twang
- Westland American Oak Single Malt
Westland American Oak Single Malt
- 46% ABV - £69
- Minimum 3 years in new American oak casks and first-fill Bourbon casks
