This Whiskey's Story

This delightful American Single Malt is truly a California native product, with all the grain for the whiskey coming from Admiral Maltings in Alameda, CA, before being distilled by Clayton Mendel and his team in Mammoth Lakes. It is then finished in California Port barrels for the cherry on top! Single Malt is typically associated with Scotch producers, but this is a wonderful example of what America brings to bear to the category. Clayton calls it a "rowdy" dram, one that might surprise you to learn that it is an American Single Malt! The Devils Creek Adventure series is all about pushing the boundaries of craft distilling, and we are so proud that this is their first release to be offered outside of their Distillery tasting room.
