St. George B&E American Whiskey 750mL

St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey is not just a whiskey; it's a bold exploration into the heart of America's whiskey-making tradition, blurring the lines between craft and creativity. This remarkable spirit emerges from the adventurous spirit of St. George Spirits, known for producing some of America's most acclaimed single malt whiskies. Breaking & Entering American Whiskey stands as a testament to what can be achieved when boundaries are crossed and conventions are challenged.

As the second release under the audacious Breaking & Entering label, this whiskey diverges from its predecessor by blending not just bourbons but an intricate mix of bourbon and rye, sourced from some of Kentucky and Tennessee's most celebrated rickhouses, with St. George's own California malt whiskey. This unique blend showcases a quartet of grains—rye, corn, barley, and wheat—melding together in a symphony of flavors without letting any one grain dominate the ensemble.

The barrels selected for Breaking & Entering American Whiskey are treasures from distilleries that command legions of dedicated followers. The acquisition of these barrels, a feat unlikely to be repeated, added layers of complexity and heritage to the blend. However, it was the innovative blending with St. George's malt whiskey that truly elevated the spirit, fulfilling head distiller/blender Dave Smith's vision of a whiskey worthy of the Breaking & Entering moniker.

This whiskey's creation story, marked by a playful nod to "barrel snatching," highlights St. George Spirits' commitment to transparency and their distinct approach to whiskey-making. Breaking & Entering American Whiskey celebrates the distillery's rich history and pioneering spirit, which began in 1996 with the laying down of barrels for their St. George Single Malt Whiskey and has continued to evolve ever since.

Breaking & Entering American Whiskey delights the senses from the first whiff to the last sip. The nose is greeted with aromas of toffee, candied orange peel, cinnamon, and cherry bark, leading to a palate rich with pecan pastry, bittersweet chocolate, fruit preserves, and a medley of spices. This whiskey is perfectly suited for classic cocktails, enhancing the flavors of Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, Whiskey Sours, Sazeracs, and Vieux Carres, making it a versatile addition to any whiskey lover's collection.

In embracing the spirit of adventure and innovation, St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey invites enthusiasts to explore the rich diversity of American whiskies through a blend that is as satisfying as it is boundary-breaking.
