A Single Malt Mecca
Right now, Montana’s bounty is inciting a beautiful collaboration among creative distillers, diligent farmers, brave maltsters, prescient academia, and some of the best barley on the continent. Over the past few decades, rising out of the traditions of craft beer and fine bourbon, the artistry fueling both palate and process has fostered a creative revolution in the spirits realm. Realizing some alchemy of heritage and innovation, American single malt is the whiskey the market’s been looking for, even if it doesn’t quite know it yet.
