California’s Stillwater Spirits Makes Third Malt Whiskey Release

By Richard Thomas

Stillwater Spirits, located in Petaluma in Northern California, has announced the release of a third batch of its Moylan’s American Whisky, an American Malt brand. The new release includes not one, but two expressions. The first is an 86 proof malt whiskey, and the second a “Double Wood” cask strength version at 117.4 proof.

The Double Barrel Cask Strength was aged for a minimum of four years in a mix of new and first-fill (i.e. ex-bourbon) American white oak barrels, and then finished in a mix of French oak and ex-orange brandy barrels.

Moylan’s is an American Single Malt Whisky, not to be confused with single-malt Scotch. Stillwater Spirits founder Brendan Moylan’s describes the difference like this: “All sweet, no peat.”
