Independence Day Whiskey – claim a pour to toast the American national holiday in style

An American bourbon, rye or single malt whiskey in the week America celebrates Independence Day is a great way to toast this complex nation

The public face of the whiskey industry in the US is all about bourbon, but the landscape in this great country is much more diverse than that. North American whiskey makers run the gauntlet of whiskey styles, bringing single malts, ryes and even Irish-style pot still whiskey to an ever-growing and important market. 

BOTTLE OF THE WEEK

Woodford Reserve Five-Malt Stouted

This rich and flavour-packed five-malt whiskey is a real treat for the 4th of July - US Independence Day. 

Its makers in Kentucky looked to the flavours and texture of Irish stout for inspiration when creating it. They used five different malt barley types to brew a stout-style distiller’s beer as their mash bill. This produced a ton of flavour, including roasted malt, nuts, dark chocolate, oak and spice, with a wonderful undercurrent of hazelnut and cocoa. 

The finish is silky smooth with a hint of orange and creamy malt. 

Bottled at 45.2%, this is a leading member of the Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection.
