Last week I witnessed #Americansinglemalt with chocolate flavors and a tropical aftertaste. What a delight. Lovely @devin_nyc from @westlandwhiskey invited me to an American single malt evening in Soho. The event was extremely intimate and included two additional distilleries 😍 Ithe group guests were women from #womenwhowhiskey NY club. Well. I tasted 3 delicious flavors! 1. #Westland 3240 #SingleCask Barrel Pick 60.2% by Charlie from drammers. Excellent choice! Just two weeks ago I looked glassy-eyed at the bottle of Westland Doc poured for a tasting at the HobokenWhiskeyClub knowing that it was the last peated bottle, because Westland are done with Scotland Peat, well! This bottle was just awesome. 2. @westerwoodwhisky #caskstrength 62.5% Excuse me!! Someone bring a fire department this is hot !!I tropical notes and fruitiness! 'What is it?? How can this possibly cone from oak?!’ I aak, and reply comes quickly… ‘Well… the fruity taste comes from our fermentation process which uses a string yeast called Chico to bring out the fruity aroma, we ferment twice’ That's what Drew, the brand's sales manager, told me. 3. @vadistillery Cuvee Cask 59.2% an interesting story emerged here as well 😍 That was tasty! Then someone drew my attention to another expression that I must taste. 46%... of chocolate flavor. How did you get chocolate out of American oak? Chafing process is the answer according to Amanda the Master Blender. What did we have here? Two American single malts one fruit A chocolate one And two process to drive that.
