This is the first American Single Malt Whiskey ever released by Watershed Distillery in Columbus, Ohio. Made from a mash bill of 85% malted barley and 15% smoked malted barley, this whiskey was aged for over 5 years in a new, heavy char barrel before we finished it in a fresh Apple Brandy barrel. Brought to you uncut and unfiltered (as the whiskey deities intended), and from one of the most respected craft distilleries in the US, this American Single Malt is a one-off of epic proportions. You’re welcome.
Tasting Notes: Apple. Caramel. Funk. Chocolate. Char. In that order.
Put quite simply, there is nothing like this American Single Malt (ASM) on the whiskey market today. Not only is it the first single malt EVER from Watershed Distillery, but we also finished it in a Watershed Apple Brandy barrel for an ample 8 months. Throw in a novel mash bill, heavy-char aging, cask-strength bottling, and an incredibly refined flavor profile, and you have an unprecedented whiskey experience. Drink it, collect it, whatever…just don’t miss out on it.The Nerdy Bits:

Founded in 2010, Watershed Distillery in Columbus, Ohio boasts an impressive list of award-winning gins, bourbon, apple brandy, and liqueurs. Dedicated to the principles of quality and community, this standout Midwest distillery invites you to gather with friends and family, raise a glass, and savor the spirits and company that underpin our personal Watershed moments – whether momentous or fleeting.
We first visited Watershed when researching craft distilleries for Bourbon Sippers. At the time (2012/2013), two guys and a tiny still represented the entirety of the production crew. However, despite this humble appearance, Watershed was still cranking out premium gins and a young bourbon that oozed with potential. Now, much larger and raking in yearly accolades, Watershed was a no-brainer top priority when we decided to launch the Two Souls brand. We could not be happier to be partnering with this industry-leading craft distillery.
