About the product
Malahat Straight American Single Malt Whiskey is a craft whiskey produced by Malahat Spirits Co. in San Diego, California. Named after the historic rum-running ship “Malahat,” the distillery embraces a spirit of bold character and craftsmanship, creating distinctive small-batch whiskeys inspired by American distilling innovation.
This expression is made from 100% malted barley, following the growing tradition of American single malt whiskey production. The whiskey is carefully distilled and matured in oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop a rich malt-forward character balanced with notes derived from the oak aging process.
The coastal climate of Southern California influences the maturation process, contributing to a whiskey with a smooth texture and layered complexity. The result is a well-balanced single malt that highlights both the grain’s natural sweetness and the warm spice of oak.
Bottled at 47.5% ABV (95 proof), Malahat Straight American Single Malt Whiskey offers a bold yet approachable profile that can be enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or in premium whiskey cocktails.
