As American Single Malt Whiskey enters a new era of national recognition, Alpine Distilling is offering whiskey enthusiasts an opportunity to try the category firsthand through a limited-time experience at the Park City Social Aid Pleasure Club on Main Street. Designed for both seasoned whiske y enthusiasts and curious newcomers, the experience includes a side-by-side tasting of two distinct single malt expressions from separate barrels, a handcrafted Park City Old Fashioned paired with maple bourbon jerky, and two bottles of Alpine Distilling Single Malt Whiskey to take home. “Our goal has always been to help people better understand what they’re tasting and why,” said Sara Sergent, CEO and master botanical distiller of Alpine Distilling. “This experience invites guests to explore how grain, barrel selection, aging and proof come together to shape the character of American Single Malt Whiskey while celebrating one of the fastest-growing categories in American whiskey.” The offering comes as American Single Malt Whiskey continues to gain national attention following the establishment of the Tax and Trade Bureau’s official American Single Malt Whiskey standard of identity, which took effect in January 2025. Alpine Distilling’s Single Malt Whiskey, formerly released as Traveler’s Rest and awarded a double gold medal at The Fifty Best American Malt Whiskey Awards, is crafted from 100% North American malted barley, aged first in used Missouri oak barrels before finishing in charred French oak, and distilled, aged, and bottled entirely in Park City. Guests will compare Alpine Distilling’s flagship Single Malt Whiskey with its limited-edition Barrel Proof Single Malt, a collector’s-edition expression produced entirely in Utah. The side-by-side tasting aims to highlight how barrel selection, proof and maturation influence aroma, texture and flavor while offering a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind each whiskey. Only 25 experience packages are available. Reservations can be made online at tinyurl.com/3nnhwd5c.
