R6 Distillery Single Malt Whiskey comes from the heart of Los Angeles, just a mile from the Pacific Ocean, where small-batch craftsmanship meets California character. This young yet expressive single malt is made from 100% malted barley, including peated malt, distiller’s malt, chocolate malt, and coffee malt, creating a foundation that’s layered and complex. Bottled at 86 proof and aged one year, it carries a vibrant light gold color touched with an orange hue, a sign of both freshness and depth.
The nose opens with a burst of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, ripe cherries, and crisp apple, offering a rich and aromatic delivery. On the palate, it unfolds with toffee, honey-soaked raisins, chocolate macchiato, and subtle tobacco, rounded by a whisper of peat that brings just enough smokiness to balance the sweetness. The finish lingers with gentle heat, cayenne spice, and lasting malty notes, leaving a satisfying chocolate-kissed memory.
Enjoyed neat, over ice, or as the star of a well-crafted cocktail, this whiskey proves that age is only a number. R6 Single Malt is bold, flavorful, and approachable—a whiskey that speaks to both seasoned drinkers and curious newcomers, showing that California’s take on American single malt is one worth savoring sip after sip.
