TASTES LIKE
This whisky kicks off with a bright, peppery punch from green pepper and fresh jalapeño (no, we have no idea where this flavour comes from from a production standpoint, but we like it!) combined with the aroma you get when walking past your favourite coffee shop, balanced by the gentle sweetness of poached pears. It finishes smooth with creamy white chocolate matcha and the comforting crunch of Hob Nobs.
MEET THE DISTILLERY
Situated in the Bay Area of San Francisco, when St. George Spirits was founded in 1982 by Jörg Rupf, it kick-started the modern American artisan distilling movement.

THIS MADE THE CUT BECAUSE
This malt celebrates the many parallels between brewing and distilling, which we love! It’s a total hybrid between the two, starting as a 100% malted barley coffee stout and finishing as a super distinctive malt. An outlier that’s just so interesting and can’t help but keep going back to.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
Coffee Stout! We’re big into Bevertown’s ‘Spresso’ Coffe Stout, made in collaboration with Climpson & Sons, and Wiper & True’s ‘Espresso Martini Shake’ - another coffee stout, this time inspired by, yes you’ve guessed it, the espresso martini.
