“A California take on the Japanese spin on Scotch whisky,” says St. George master distiller Lance Winters of this big, smoky single malt.
Experience a one-of-a-kind whiskey with St George Baller American Single Malt. Crafted in America, this unique whiskey is inspired by Japanese whiskey and finished in house-made umeshu finishing casks. Enjoy notes of crisp malt, delicate maple charcoal smoke, and tropical sherry flavors.
The label re-imagines the legend of St. George as a samurai. The original watercolor on the front label is by Oakland artist Sylvia Solochek Walters, done to emulate woodcut. The calligraphy was done by Eri Takase of Takase Studios. Master distiller Lance Winters did the art direction, and also designed the chop for the back label, which Master Takase then rendered in ink brush.
St George Baller Tasting Notes:
Color: a light golden straw tone in the glass, a warm and buttery yellow.
Aroma: Malty and grain-forward at first, opening quickly and with considerable intensity. Some funkiness and fruit expands into warm beer mash, old school cherry and cream sodas, root beer barrel candy, and charred fruit. The front end of the nosing experience smells just like a candy store burning down. After opening, salted pickled plums (umeboshi), brine, and char come together more coherently. The nose becomes driven by umami and beach campfire.
Palate: The first impression on the palate is summer BBQ realness, with warm malty beer and relish-covered potato chips. Hot soda and barbecue Lays come next. Dried seaweed, sweet rice crackers, and warm root beer transition the palate from sweet and salty to umami. Brine, pickle, smoke, sugar, and salt make for an incredibly complex flavor profile.
Finish: A lingering, bread-y sweetness on the finish melds with light funkiness and smoke.
