Alabama Single Malt — lightly-smoked with pecan and peach wood and aged in small, fifteen-gallon casks.

John Sharp and his son Jimmy ran a business in Montgomery, Alabama. But that business required a lot of travel. When Jimmy’s daughter Lily was born in 2014, they knew they had to start something different. They founded the John Emerald Distilling Company — the first legal distillery in Alabama since Prohibition — in the tiny town of Opelika and named it after John’s father. They make a Rum, Spiced Rum, Gin, Vodka, and their signature Alabama Single Malt Whiskey.

John Emerald Alabama Single Malt Whiskey is a true Single Malt made with a Southern flare. The malted barley comes from Ireland and they smoke a portion of the malted grain with peach and pecan wood — like a good Bar-B-Q. The rest of the grain is left dried without smoke. The distilled Spirit is placed into small, fifteen-gallon barrels to foster quicker aging. But they also put in oak chips that have been soaked in Cynthiana Wine — a unique varietal made from Norton grapes. All of this attention to detail creates a stand-out, uniquely Southern-styled American Single Malt.

George Washington was a man of many talents being both a military braniac and the First President of the United States. Interestingly, he also became the largest Whiskey producer in the United States after leaving the politics.
Tennessee Whiskey closely parallels Bourbon, but final filtering through sugar-maple charcoal (called the Lincoln County Process) is what some producers say differentiates them. Tennessee Whiskey’s finish is sweeter and smoother than Bourbon.
An un-aged American Whisky is often called “white dog.”Sour Mash is the fermentation process by which a percentage of a previous fermentation is added to a new batch as a "starter" to get the fermentation going and maintain a level of consistency from batch to batch. A sweet mash means that only fresh yeast is added to a new batch to start fermentation.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Rye Whiskey is made from mash that is at least 51 percent rye. The grain gives Rye Whiskey its spicy, sometimes peppery, and bitter flavor. It was a big seller before Prohibition, and after decades in obscurity, it’s fashionable again. Fun fact: George Washington distilled Rye Whiskey at Mount Vernon.
