Often considered bourbon’s close cousin, Tennessee whiskey distinguishes itself with the famous Lincoln County Process. Before barrel aging, the spirit is slowly filtered through maple charcoal, which softens the texture and rounds out the flavor profile.
There are 134 products.

Tennessee Whiskey: A Regional Specialty
The most famous example is, of course, Jack Daniel’s—an iconic, globally recognized brand. But other producers like George Dickel craft excellent Tennessee whiskeys, sometimes more discreet yet often more complex.
Rye Whiskey: The Comeback of a Spicy Classic
Less known to the general public than bourbon, rye whiskey has seen a spectacular resurgence over the past 15 years. By law, it must contain at least 51% rye i n its mash bill, giving it a drier, bolder, and spicier character. Rye is particularly valued in cocktails, featuring in classics like the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Sazerac.
Historically produced in the Northeast (Pennsylvania, Maryland), rye has been brought back into the spotlight by brands such as Rittenhouse, Bulleit Rye, Knob Creek Rye, and WhistlePig, which experiments with innovative finishes and a high-end approach.
The Rise of Craft Distilleries: A New Wave of American Whiskey
Since the 2000s, the U.S. has seen a boom in independent microdistilleries reinventing whiskey with creativity and boldness. These producers experiment with new mash bills, local grains (Arizona red wheat, Montana rye), and unique cask finishes in wine, beer, or French oak barrels.
Notable names include:
-
Balcones (Texas): known for powerful single malts made from blue corn or Texas rye.
-
High West (Utah): praised for its complex blends and innovative aging.
-
Stranahan’s (Colorado): a pioneer of American single malt.
-
Hudson Whiskey (New York): focused on sustainable production and small-batch releases.
-
Westland (Seattle): crafting American single malts in a Scotch-inspired style with a distinctly local identity.
These craft distilleries push boundaries, appealing to both seasoned connoisseurs and curious newcomers.
American Single Malt: Towards an Official Category
Once marginal, American single malt is now gaining recognition. Made from malted barley, distilled in a single distillery, and often aged in new or re-charred oak, this style is currently working toward federal regulation. The goal: to offer a credible alternative to Scotch, Irish, or Japanese single malts, with a distinctly American character.
Distilleries such as Westward (Oregon), Virginia Distillery Co., Santa Fe Spirits, and Colkegan are driving this movement, producing bold expressions ranging from peated and smoky to fruity and woody.
American Whiskey and Mixology: A Bartender’s Essential
American whiskey has always been central to cocktail culture. From Prohibition-era speakeasies to today’s New York and San Francisco bars, it remains a must-have behind the counter.
-
Bourbon adds roundness to Old Fashioned and Whiskey Sour.
-
Rye brings punch and spice to Manhattan and Sazerac.
-
Tennessee whiskey softens cocktails like the Lynchburg Lemonade or Apple Jack Smash.
Its aromatic diversity and accessibility make American whiskey an essential choice for both professionals and home bartenders.
Why Choose American Whiskey?
Choosing American whiskey means exploring a world of its own:
-
A rich terroir of diverse grains
-
A centuries-old craft tradition
-
Constant innovation and creativity
Whether you prefer sweet vanilla notes, bold spice, or toasted wood, there’s an American whiskey for you. It’s also an excellent gateway for newcomers: often more approachable than Scotch single malts or Japanese blends, U.S. whiskeys are celebrated for their warmth, versatility, and diversity.
