American whiskey is becoming more and more popular: Bourbon, Rye, Wheat, Corn whiskey, Single Malt, all coming in various finishes and bottling. This trend is actually seen worldwide and this boom is so big that whiskey has come to dominate the drinks world. No complaint at all: the more customers enjoy whiskey, the more this stimulates the makers to improve the quality and increase its diversity. And so this happens. In this growing arena, how to find the best whiskies? Let’s ask the experts! Every year, a panel of judges, chaired by Steve Beal, assesses the latest releases through a long and tedious process ensuring complete fairness. Tonight were announced the 2019 results in New York City during a ceremony chaired by Steve Beal.

Co-founder Fawn Weaver, proudly holding her prize. Uncle nearest 1856 has been created as a tribute to Nearest Green, an African-American slave who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey. Fawn Weaver was inspired by Green’s story, the role that slaves and blacks played in making whiskey in the United States and the fact that Jack Daniel never used slaves in his business.

This release is an amazing combination of a well matured Single Malt Scotch married with a one-year-old single malt whisky from the Virginia Distillery Company, then finished in a ex-port cask. This is the “Virginia-Highland” that stole the coveted best American blended malt of the year!

The Virginia Distillery Company is aiming at combining the traditions with the American touch. They use a two-row barley from the Mid-West and a couple of hand-made copper stills from Scotland. The result? High quality releases that speak for themselves!

Another winner coming from Colorado. They are very carefull about keeping the best quality of all the ingredients, and on top they benefit from a climate that changes quite often. The frequent temperature changes help quite a bit for the interaction between the wood and the spirit, and allows a faster aging.

Special mention for the Bainbridge distillery who got three whiskies awarded tonight, and their proud and busy Head distiller, Kevin Barrans.
Bainbridge Organic Distillers was founded as a family business in 2009, and since the beginning they perform every task in the making of distilled spirits on site, and with their own hands. From the selection of grain varieties and lots, to grinding, mashing, fermenting and distillation they are proud to be hands-on at every stage in the small-batch spirits production process.
They were Washington State’s first distillery producing USDA Certified Organic spirits, and still are the state’s only distillery producing 100% of its organic spirits from scratch, on site in their own distillery.
No wonder why they have accumulated so many awards!
