THE AMERICAS The United States is producing whiskies that insult the Scots, anger the Japanese, and make the Irish jealous. While the rest of the world watches, homegrown distillers are winning the hearts and the livers of our generation. There s good sense to it all: the country was literally and politically founded on the fact that American whiskey is a beautiful thing and worth making, or at least drinking, if you don t own a still. Believe me, our amber waves of grain weren t all turned into bread. Daniel Yaffe, Drink More Whiskey Angel's Envy (Bardstown.

For now, there are two iterations of the Willett name: first, a collection of sourced whiskeys (Willett Family Estate Bottled, F.E.B) bottled by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (KBD), and second, a distillery that reopened in January 2012, after being shuttered for decades... Today the distillery has a 1,200 gallon pot still and eight rick houses and in 2014 released its first in-house expression, a two-year old rye.

TENNESSEE Tennessee is deeply rooted in the whiskey-making process and is no slouch compared to its bigger, northern brother. Much of the Tennessee whiskey growth was stunted after prohibition, as the ban lasted a bit longer in Tennessee, but the Volunteer State is doing its best to catch up. Companies such as George Dickel and Jack Daniel s have been instrumental, producing millions of cases a year and claiming that the Lincoln County Process makes them uniquely a Tennessee Whiskey. Nashville companies, such as Nelson s Greenbrier Distillery (Belle Meade) have made their mark, producing high-quality products that stand up to the criticism of aficionados around the country.

THE WILD WEST When it comes to whisk(e)y making, anything west of the Mississippi River is, once again, the Wild Wild West. Shedding the restraints of high government regulation on bourbon-crafting, the West is left to do what they have always done best: innovate. There is no one experimenting with the spirit as much as those in the Rockies and on the West Coast. Here, you will see the biggest revival of the Scottish single malt tradition with companies such as Westland, Stranahan s and St. George Spirits. Other brands, including Charbay, Slaughter House and High West are taking it to the limit by blending different types of whiskies together and/or aging them in dessert wine or vermouth casks.
