Field and Sound Bottled In Bond American Single Malt Whiskey

Field and Sound Bottled In Bond American Single Malt Whiskey is distilled by Long Island Spirits on the North Fork of Long Island, New York, meeting the strict federal Bottled in Bond standard: distilled in a single season by one distiller at one distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof. This American single malt uses 100% malted barley and a traditional pot still, placing it in the small but growing category of grain-to-glass single malt whiskey made outside Scotland, yet honoring the same exacting production methods that define Scotch whisky. Long Island Spirits ferments its malted barley for two to three weeks, far longer than the industry norm, producing what the distillery calls a bottle-ready beer—a high-quality wash that carries more complex esters and flavor precursors into distillation. The extended fermentation is followed by pot distillation and lengthy aging in barrels stored near the bluffs of the Long Island Sound, where the maritime climate and temperature swings influence maturation in ways distinct from Kentucky or the Scottish Highlands. The North Fork's cool winters and humid summers push the whiskey in and out of the wood, extracting color and vanilla while preserving the malt's cereal sweetness. The result is a whiskey that balances grain-forward sweetness with oak and proof. Expect notes of toasted barley, honey, and baking spice, with a full mouthfeel driven by the 100-proof bottling strength and no chill filtration. This is a sipper for fans of American craft distilling who want the structure of Bottled in Bond and the malt character of single malt in one glass. Pour it neat to appreciate the distillery's patient fermentation work, or add a few drops of water to open up the grain and oak interplay. Pair it with sharp cheddar, smoked almonds, or grilled steak.
