American whiskey carries a rich and diverse heritage which is an integral part of the nation’s history.
Our collection properly reflects that, with a huge range of bottlings from some of America’s most popular distilleries with bottlings from brands like Bulleit and Buffalo Trace.
With a great selection, including special batches that we sell through our Drammer’s Draws and popular options that make for an incredible Old Fashioned, we have you covered at Royal Mile Whiskies.
Whiskey production in America has a story so wild and engrossing you could make a film about it. In fact, people have and continue to do so as there are so many outlandish tales to tell.
Over the years whiskey in America has been prescribed as medicine, outlawed, produced by Presidents and enjoyed by rock stars. It also, perhaps, has the strictest laws in the world when it comes to production.
Whiskey in America has faced many challenges over the years but perhaps none bigger than Prohibition. On January 17th 1920 and lasted for a period of thirteen years. During this times the production, sale and transport of alcoholic spirits was not permitted anywhere in the United States. This was, obviously, a very bad thing for legitimate whiskey producers in America with many closing their doors for good during this time. The Prohibition act was repealed in 1933 but it took a long time for the American whiskey industry to recover.
Nowadays the American whiskey industry is the hub of innovation in the spirits world with new ideas and styles appearing all the time. The rise in craft distilleries all over the United States has led to a whole new world of spirits that have already added to the heritage and history of American whiskey.
Extensive Selection of American Whiskey
Have a look at some of the excellent American whiskeys that we sell, including some bottles that have a brilliant history.
Lovers of the Scotch stuff will be able to get something of a fresh taste and a backstory that is familiar, with tales of prohibition and distillation methods passing down through families, yet different, with a distinctly Southern twang.
Here are a few options:
Knob Creek Straight Rye Whiskey 50% 70cl - This whiskey is only just above the legal minimum of 51%, so despite being pure rye, it offers a spicy flavour profile with familiar bourbon sweetness.
1792 Small Batch Bourbon 46.8% 75cl -Another lightly spiced sweet option that was produced by Sazerac Ltd. in Kentucky.
Balcones Pot Still Bourbon 46% 70cl - Made in Texas, this bourbon is all about bold flavours, with notes of grapefruit, sherry, fresh oak, and dried pineapple.
