Celebrate a new recognized whiskey style with cocktails for American Single Malts
Now an officially recognized category, here are recipes for this style
“1” Old Fashioned

When you hear "single malt," your mind likely goes straight to Scotches -- and certainly, Scotland has been producing some of the best known single malt whiskeys for hundreds of years. But a growing interest in whiskey in the US has kicked off a wave of American distilleries producing their own American Single Malts, which were recently ratified into a category of their own by the US government's Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau.

To celebrate the recognition of this category, American single malt producer Balcones crafted their own cocktail -- called, of course, Sweet Ratification. It's a pecan-packed nutty taken on the Old Fashioned, and along with a couple of other cocktail suggestions, these are the perfect way to cheer on this new and emerging whiskey style for National Whiskey Day.
