FEW American Whiskey
FEW American Whiskey is a bold and creative expression that blends bourbon and rye foundations with smoked malt character. It balances rich sweetness with savory rye spice and a whisper of smoke—making it an intriguing choice for both sipping neat and exploring more adventurous cocktails.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by FEW Spirits in Evanston, Illinois, this whiskey is crafted with a “grain-to-glass” mindset, pulling from locally sourced grains and processed on-site. The American Whiskey expression begins with a backbone of FEW’s award-winning bourbon and rye whiskeys. Those are then blended with a malt whiskey component that has been subtly imbued with cherry-wood smoke, adding an extra layer of nuance. The result is a small-batch release bottled at approximately 46.5% ABV (93 proof) and positioned as a creative, distinctly American blended whiskey.
Tasting Profile
Nose: A rich opening of graham cracker sweetness and warm honey draws you in, followed by ripe tart cherry, subtle cinnamon bark and a light waft of cherry-wood smoke.
Palate: Medium-bodied; the initial sweetness transitions into rye-driven spice—white pepper and clove—while underlying malt richness brings baked apple and caramel. Mid-palate features a slight cherry-fruit tang and a faint herbal-leaf note.
Finish: The smoke gently lingers, tapering into a soft white-pepper flicker and honeyed grain lingering while a hint of smoked cherrywood keeps the finish unique and memorable.
