St. George Baller American Single Malt Whiskey (750 mL) is a uniquely expressive California single malt crafted with bold character and a distinctly Japanese-inspired finishing touch. Distilled from 100% American barley and aged in used bourbon casks before being filtered through maple charcoal and misted with umeshu (plum liqueur), it delivers a smoky, fruit-tinged profile unlike anything else in American whiskey. Innovative, distinctive, and impeccably crafted, this bottle has become a cult favorite among collectors and bartenders alike. Now available at Whiskey Caviar.
