This malt whiskey has the smokey-maltiness, vanilla, caramel, banana and chocolate qualities of the finest Highland Scotch... made right in Essex, VT.
Background
This is a true American single malt whiskey. Aged for 6-8 months in new ten gallon, white oak barrels with a heavy #4 char on the inside.
We use barrels hand-made in Wilmington,NY, by US Barrel Cooperage.
The Result?
EXACTLY what we wanted! The resulting whiskey is reminiscent of a smokey-oaked Highland Scotch with vanilla, caramel, banana and chocolate qualities of the finest Highland Scotch.
Vanilla and oak come through from the barrel, the sip is incredibly smooth with a finish that leaves you wanting more.
Heavy Base was one of the first two American Malt Whiskey’s we produced when we opened in 2020 and it continues to be one of our best sellers.
