It looks like we can't agree on anything any longer, so let's take it to a new level of Armageddon. America makes some awfully good tasting whiskies, but wait...so does the rest of the world. And lately, we've all been agreeing on...wait...what?...Single Malts.
We'll taste 3 American Single Malts and 3 Single Malts from other areas of the World (other than Scotland) in a head-to-head, tariff-busting showdown of malted barley, cask finishes and proofs.
