A relative newcomer to the whiskey scene, having launched in July of 2020, American Mash and Grain are working on their mission to expand people’s ideas of what American craft whiskey is.
“We are in the midst of a renaissance for American whiskey,” stated American Mash and Grain COO Chase Langdon, “Craft distillers from across the country are leading the charge in redefining what it means to be “American whiskey.” We are excited and honored to get to partner with these amazing craft whiskey producers to continue push[ing] the envelope for America’s native spirit with this uniquely craft and uniquely American blend.

Tasting Notes: American Mash & Grain Borrowed Page Volume 2
Vital Stats: 110 proof, blended from a combination of American Single Malt, Single Pot Still, and Rye, $75 for a 750ml bottle.
Color: The color is a deep, clear chestnut hue.
Nose: Honey, vanilla, and cinnamon are forward on the palate. Behind that are darker, warm notes of plums, dates, baked apples, and banana bread. At the end of the nose, the dark notes intensify into dark chocolate.
Palate: The strong proof makes itself known on the first sip. Where the nose is approachable and sweet, the strong kick of alcohol takes a few sips to acclimatize to. Eventually, cereal and honey sweetness begin to come through with pepper spice. The fruit from the nose is not as noticeable on the palate, but the dark chocolate comes back, especially on the finish where it is joined with malt and tobacco.
