{"product_id":"minden-mill-5-year-american-single-malt-whiskey","title":"Minden Mill 5 Year American Single Malt Whiskey","description":"\u003cp class=\"mb-6\"\u003eMinden Mill's first American Single Malt Whiskey is a true estate spirit, made entirely from barley grown and malted on the distillery's Nevada property and cut with well water fed by Sierra Nevada snowpack. It ages five years in a mix of oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, American oak and re-charred wine casks inside rickhouses designed to mimic Speyside conditions, then is bottled non-chill filtered at 94 proof. Expect fig, caramel, golden raisin and honeycomb on the nose, a palate of dried cherries, fruit compote, honey and allspice, and a long, warming finish. That makes it a compelling choice for anyone curious about how far American single malt has come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eMinden Mill Distilling crafts this American Single Malt from 100% barley grown on its own Nevada estate, malted on site, and fermented with M1 yeast in well water fed by Sierra Nevada snowpack. The whiskey ages five years in a mix of oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, and American oak casks, along with re-charred wine and sherry butts, inside climate-controlled rickhouses designed to mirror the conditions of Speyside, Scotland. It is bottled non-chill filtered at 47% ABV (94 proof).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eRich aromas of fig, caramel, and golden raisin lead the way. Candied plum and honeycomb add layered sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eThe palate opens with caramel, dried cherries, and a lush fruit compote, all balanced by honey and sweet malt. Notes of tobacco and allspice add warmth and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eTangerine and mild white pepper spice emerge first.

It is a true estate whiskey, meeting both the federal American Single Malt standards and the rules of the Estate Whiskey Alliance, so every step from field to bottle happens in Minden, Nevada. Under master distiller Joe O'Sullivan, it brings a distinctly Western American take to a Speyside-inspired tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eSip it neat or with a few drops of water to open up its sherried fruit and honeyed malt. It also pairs well with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or dried fruit. For a cocktail, use it as the base of a refined Old Fashioned or a Rob Roy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \u003cdiv class=\"mt-12\"\u003e\n        \u003ch2 class=\"mb-8\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003ch4 class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eWhat is Minden Mill Nevada American Single Malt Whiskey?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eIt's the first American Single Malt from Minden Mill Distilling, an estate distillery in Minden, Nevada, made entirely from barley grown on the estate and malted on site.
