American single malt: it's official
Decanter
|July 2025
After years of campaigning, American single malt is now an official category of US whiskey – and it’s proving how important provenance is in modern whiskey-making
It was an exciting start to the year for American whiskey. For the first time in 52 years, the category gained a new official style: American single malt. On 18 December 2024, the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved the official classification, effective from 15 January 2025.
