St. George Single Malt Lot 22 landed on my desk at 86 proof, carrying a $109 price tag. Here is what I found.
Palate
A pretty wild ride. My first impression was that the spectrum of flavors here didnt totally add up, but this pour made more sense the more time I spent with it as repeated exposure eased some of the transitions between flavors on the palate. Going in I had some concern that all those different finishes could come off busy on the palate, but I was quite happy to be wrong. rnrnBest served neat, or with a drop or two of water to give your palate time to traverse the full spectrum of flavors here. This is why people like single malt, and this is a demonstration of the possibilities available to the still emerging category of American Single Malt.
Finish
Blended from 4.5-8.5 year barrels with a variety of finishes. 86 proof. Retail price of $109. Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by Whiskeyful or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it.

The Bottom Line
St. George Single Malt Lot 22 delivers the goods. It is well-made, genuinely enjoyable, and at $109 represents solid value for what you are getting. I would happily buy this again.
