American Single Malt didn't officially exist until 2024.
Before that, distillers like us were making it, but there was no legal definition. The TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) finally created standards: 100% malted barley, distilled at a single distillery, mashed, distilled, and aged in the United States.
That's it. No requirement for new barrels like bourbon. No regional restrictions like Scotch. Just malted barley and American craftsmanship.
The category was inspired by Scotch single malts, but without the peat smoke and ocean influence. Instead, it's about expressing American ingredients and the places they come from.
It’s the ultimate art form of whiskey. Simple ingredients made into something complex. Water, malted barley, yeast, time. Nothing to hide behind. Every choice matters. Every mistake shows.
That's why we do it this way.
For us, that means Baronesse barley from Washington's Palouse Hills. Water from the Kettle River Range. A copper still Henry built by hand. Oak barrels that let the malt character come through instead of covering it up.
What you taste in our whiskey is where it's from. The grain, the water, the patience, the place. That's what American Single Malt is supposed to be.
We've been making it this way since the beginning. Now it finally has a name.
