This is a major milestone for US Craft Distillers, and specifically for our Montana Distillers Guild members who produce exceptional American Single Malt whiskeys using Montana-grown grains right here in our beautiful state. The TTB's final ruling recognizing American Single Malt Whiskey as a distinct category is a significant achievement for the industry.
This new standard provides a crucial platform for American craft distillers to differentiate themselves in the competitive spirits market. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the American Craft Spirits Association, its members, and the dedicated work of the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission and its allies, the TTB has officially acknowledged the unique character of single malt whiskeys produced by our nation's small, independent distillers. This landmark ruling goes into effect on January 19th, 2025.
Pick up a bottle of Montana Made American Single Malt this holiday season at any Montana State-owned Liquor Store and celebrate this exciting development for our industry.
