American Single Malt Whiskey

American single malt whiskey distilled from 100% malted barley at a single U.S. distillery, matured in oak (commonly new American oak). Carries malt-forward cereal sweetness, dried fruit, and a softer toast/spice signature than bourbon — the U.S. counterpart to Scotch single malt. Swappable in cocktails calling for a malty, fruit-leaning whiskey without sherry- or wine-cask finish character.
