Good Deeds American Malt Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey
Good Deeds // USA
This malt whiskey is the Good Deeds American charity whiskey brand debut, and is a blend from 9 distinct American craft whiskey producers. The whiskey was created in February, 2021 from a blend of 9 donated whiskeys from Balcones Distilling (Waco, TX), Bently Heritage Estate Distillery (Minden, NV), FEW Spirits (Evanston, IL), Headframe Spirits (Butte, MT), Rogue Spirits Distillery (Newport, OR), Santa Fe Spirits (Santa Fe, NM), Sonoma Distilling Company (Rohnert Park, CA), State Line Distillery (Madison, WI), and Thornton Distilling Company (Thornton, IL). Blenders Johnny Jeffery (Bently Heritage Estate Distillery), Randy Hudson (Triple Eight Distillery), Reade Huddleston (Headframe Spirits), and John McKee (Headframe Spirits) blended over the course of two days in Butte, MT.
All of the whiskey was blended on-site, then placed in ex-bourbon barrels to marry for five months before proofing down to 46% for bottling and release. 100% of proceeds go toward STEPUP Foundation, the diversity and inclusion initiative founded by the American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA). It is bottled at 46% ABV, with 1,000 bottles available as of October 15, 2021.

Tasting Notes
"Chocolate-covered berries and soft cherrywood smoke lead on the nose, along with orchard fruits and toffee. The palate is rich, with Baker's chocolate and butterscotch backed up by oak and cedar wood, as well as cinnamon, allspice, and white pepper. The finish is warming and lengthy, with salted caramel, smoky phenols, black pepper, coffee beans, spearmint, and barrel char."
