Elijah Craig and the PGA are partnering to launch a commemorative edition of its popular 94-proof Small Batch Bourbon. The specially-designed bottle features a label that displays that it’s the “Official Bourbon” of the PGA Championship. Each bottle is sealed with a gold coin cork. Not only that, but this limited-edition expression was made from barrels from Heaven Hill Distillery’s Q and H1 rickhouses, in a direct reference the tournament at Quail Hollow Club.

There’s no denying the appeal of American single malt whiskey. Although it’s only been a recognized category since January, several distilleries have been making it for years. It was so surprising that a name like Stranahan’s, Westward, or Westland didn’t take home the prize of being named American Single Malt Whiskey of the Year at the London Spirits Competition.

The winner was a lesser-known whiskey called Root Shoot Spirits’ American Single Malt Whiskey, which should definitely be on your radar if you enjoy the style.
