Why Is 10th Street Whiskey So Popular?

10th Street Whiskey has received award-winning recognition and earned a reputation for its distinct flavor profile. This not only showcases its excellent quality but also reflects its desirability among people. Here’s why it is in demand: 

1. Premium Ingredients And Traditional Methods

This spirit sources quality malted barley and uses pure water from the Sierra Nevada mountains to ensure whiskey is completely fresh. Traditional production methods are used, which include importing Scottish peated barley to give a sense of smokiness and using copper pot stills to enhance the spirit's smoothness. This is finished in STR casks and goes through non-chill filtration, which retains its natural oils and flavors.       

2. Handcrafted In Small Batches

10th Street is a craft distillery that practices small-batch production for better quality control. This ensures that each bottle maintains high consistency and flavor to ensure exclusivity. Focusing on small production helps closely monitor each step of the process and creates a sense of rarity, making these spirits a desired item for whiskey collectors.

3. Strong Appeal To Various Whiskey Drinkers

The popularity of 10th Street Whiskeys is highly known due to their complex flavor profile, which makes them appealing to both beginners and seasoned drinkers. Whiskey drinkers appreciate this spirit's perfect balance of malt, peat smoke, and sweetness. Its finish also has a long, smoky, and satisfying taste that isn't overpowering and creates a memorable experience for everyone. 

4. Distinct And Limited Edition Releases 

10th Street frequently introduces special releases that keep whiskey collectors excited. For instance, STR single malt gives a cask-strength expression, which is finished in shaved, toasted, and re-charred (STR) barrels. Another example is the 10th Street Peated Cask Strength, which gives out a more intense, smoky version of its core variety. These constantly create hype and exclusivity, encouraging whiskey lovers to constantly come back for new additions.

5. Barrel Aging

These whiskeys are aged in handpicked barrels, such as charred American oak barrels, for a touch of sweetness and ex-bourbon casks to enhance their spicy and toasty notes. The carefully selected barrels ensure the whiskeys have the best flavors, setting this spirit apart from others.

Our Collection Of 10th Street Whiskey

1. Single Malt Whiskeys

Our handpicked selection of single malt whiskeys is made from 100% malted barley distilled in copper pot stills and aged in carefully chosen barrels. These bring out layers of caramel, oak, vanilla, and subtle spice, along with natural malt sweetness and depth. They come in the following varieties:

• Peated 

This variety at Liquor Geeks is known for its smoky flavor that comes from drying malted barley over peat fires. Our collection also utilizes this traditional technique to offer a balance of smoke, sweetness, and depth. One such example is our 10th Street American Single Malt Whiskey Peated Cask Strength, which gives out oak and caramel flavors with its signature smokiness.

• Unpeated

10th Street’s Unpeated Single Malt Whiskey range offers a memorable drinking experience without the smoky peat. These are carefully aged in the chosen ex-bourbon barrels, where they develop a creamy texture with notes of caramel, dried fruit, and warm baking spices. The absence of peat also makes it approachable for beginners, as it offers a mellow yet flavorful single malt.

2. Blended Whiskey

We also offer 10th Street’s Blended Whiskey, which combines chosen malt and grain whiskey. This spirit is aged in ex-bourbon casks that enhance its vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak notes with an added layer of warmth and sweetness. It retains a high malt content compared to the traditional American blended whiskeys for better flavors.
