If you enjoy the crisp, bright flavors of Japanese malts and the bold swagger of American malts, you have to try Baller. It starts with 100% American malted barley that is pot distilled, then aged in American and French oak casks that previously held other whiskies. After aging, the whiskey is filtered through maple charcoal, lending subtle smoke, then finished in umeshu casks (umeshu is an aromatic liqueur made from small, tart stone fruit called ume).
