In the annals of American malt whiskey, perhaps one of the rarest-of-rare unicorns is Old Potrero’s Hotaling’s Single Malt Whiskey from Anchor Distilling in San Francisco. The expression hasn’t been seen on the market in some time, for good reason – there’s only a precious small amount of it to go around. As this year is the 20th anniversary of Old Potrero, however, it seems like as good a time as any to bring it back to market in a 16-year-old variant.
