St. George Spirits
Tasting Notes
St. George Baller Single Malt whiskey is a unique and intriguing spirit crafted in California. The initial aging in used bourbon and French oak wine casks imparts a rich malty backbone complemented by damp oak notes. However, the true magic happens when the whiskey undergoes a secondary maturation in casks that previously held St. George's homemade umeshu, a Japanese-style plum liqueur made from California-grown ume fruit. This process infuses the whiskey with delightful tropical fruit flavors, reminiscent of juicy mangoes and syrupy sweetness. On the nose, fresh citrus aromas mingle with grapefruit peel and white grape wine-y undertones, accompanied by hints of apple skin and dried mango. The palate unveils a harmonious blend of the oak and malty notes, supported by the tropical fruit and sugared grape flavors. The finish lingers with the delightful taste of Gala apples and boiled apple sweeties. Baller Single Malt is a true embodiment of St. George's innovative spirit, crafted to be enjoyed in the traditional Japanese Highball style.
