Distiller Notes
Handcrafted from 100% pure malted barley, Cedar Ridge Single Malt first rests in a variety of unique finishing barrels, then is transferred into a solera tank where the flavors marry, resulting in a depth of character and complexity that is not achievable in a traditional single barrel aging system.

This layered sipper is full of surprises. Fragrant with fresh apple and honeysuckle, the drying palate suggests dusty cocoa, leather and vanilla midpalate, freshened by a hint of apple-blossom freshness at the core. A final smoky exhale is reminiscent of lightly peated Scotch.
Capturing a broad range in one category, American Whiskey refers to any spirit made in America by distilling a mash of fermented grains—typically corn, wheat, rye or barley. American Whiskey must be distilled to no more than 95% alcohol and bottled at 40% or higher. In order to be labeled a straight Whiskey, it also must be aged in white oak barrels for a minimum of two years and not contain any added colors or flavors.
