Inspired by his limitless adventures in the ocean as a salvage diver, he set out to do the same on land as a distiller. This whiskey is distilled from 100% malted "two-row premium brewer's barley" and aged for up to 6 months in stainless tanks using toasted, American oak spirals instead of oak barrels (which means it is technically not an American single malt).

Tasting Notes

"Defiant opens with honey and vanilla notes that meld into a malty spiciness, encouraging exploration. The same qualities appear on the palate, but there's a woody sharpness underlying the sweetness and spice here--the defiant edge that sets this spirit apart."
