The Macklowe Kentucky Gold Edition American single malt whiskey is a new offering from the distillery that's positioned as a decidedly more affordable option for spirit enthusiasts to try out. The spirit is aged for four years, which helps younger flavor notes to shine through more prominently including tropical fruit, ginger and honey. The spirit is aged in barrels charred to level three rather than in bourbon or sherry oak casks like traditional scotch whiskey.
The Macklowe Kentucky Gold Edition American single malt whiskey is available now via the brand's website for preorder where consumers can pick it up for $250. Limited to six bottles per person, the spirit is positioned as a more accessible option when compared to the distillery's other bottles which can be priced in excess of $1,500.
