St George 40th Anniversary Single Malt Whiskey

To celebrate four decades of artisan distillation, St George has released this 40th Anniversary Edition of St. George Single Malt Whiskey. This highly limited bottling brings together decades of craftsmanship and their ever-growing collection of unique and varied finishing casks to create a singular spirit that is a true collector’s item for connoisseurs of American single malt. In preparation for this one-time release, head distiller/blender Dave Smith spent months meticulously working through their library of casks. Of the 600+ sampled, only 30 made the initial cut, and a mere 14 casks were selected to create the whiskey that went into the bottle. The initial hit is classic St. George made deeper: dark chocolate goes to walnut fudge and latte. Amber malt mingles with buttered waffle. Then, the coconut arrives and the spice notes begin to reveal themselves. Cinnamon and clove are amplified by candied ginger. Stone fruit appears, then takes on more tropical undertones. Sherry notes turn to tawny port, then fig preserves, before finishing with soft smoke.
