St. George
Lot. 20 Single Malt Whiskey
(0.75l,
43%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
A celebratory dram that is a master class in American Single Malt.
St. George Spirits was founded in Alameda, California, by Jorg Rupf back in 1982 as an Eau de Vie distillery. They were one of the pioneers of the craft Spirits revolution. When St. George needed to expand in 2004, they purchased an old hangar at the defunct Alameda Naval Air Station — which is how Hangar One Vodka got its name. They sold off that brand so they could focus on their craft ranges, which now includes a wide range of tasty concoctions from Gin to Vodka, from Absinth to Rum, from Whisky to Liqueur, and a few other fiddly things.
St. George Single Malt Whiskey Lot. 20 is called "Lot 20" because it celebrates the 20th anniversary of their first Single Malt release. Head Distiller Dave Smith dug into their warehouses — he dug DEEP — and came out with a variety of ages and finishes to marry for the occasion. That means used barrels from Kentucky Bourbon, Tennessee Whiskey, American and French oak Apple Brandy, Port Wine, and California Sauternes Wine. And get this, the youngest Spirit in the mix was aged four and a half years and the oldest is solera-method twenty-one year-old. Sounds like Dave did something special at 43% ABV.

Moonshine Whiskey is distilled from a varied mix of corn and sugar and is aged in Mason jars and jugs for the length of time it takes the customers to get home.
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.
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.
Lance Winters, Master Distiller at St. George Spirits, got his job by turning up with a bottle of home-made Whiskey as his CV.
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.
