    SMF Ep. 58: Warfield ASM with Alex Buck of Sun Valley Distillery

    LIVE Thursday, May 7th, 5pm PDT: Alex Buck of Warfield ASMW. We are so excited to speak with Alex Buck, Managing Distiller of Sun Valley Distillery to talk about Warfield American Single Malt Whiskey (and an aged gin!). We first found out about Warfield via the excellent single cask released by @lostlanternwhiskey (see SMF Ep. 51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYdAQueMWdo) and we're really looking forward to getting the whole brand story from the source. Warfield products are 100% organic and distilled and aged at 5840 ft. This makes Warfield the first distillery we've spoken to outside of Colorado that is located more than a mile above sea level, so we'll get to compare the effects of that altitude on whiskey production from a different part of the country, significantly farther north and a bit higher elevation. All Warfield whiskeys are Non-Chill-Filtered and No Color Added. This week's whiskeys (* = provided to us by our guest): - * Warfield Idaho Highlands American Single Malt Whiskey, 46% ABV / 92 pf - * Warfield Sun Valley ASMW, 46% ABV / 92 pf - * Warfield Gently Peated ASMW, 46% ABV / 92 pf - * Warfield Organic Aged Gin, 44% ABV / 88 pf Find out more: - Warfield Distillery: https://www.drinkwarfield.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/drink_warfield --- If you like what we do, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! - Support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/SingleMaltFrontier and get extras and perks! - Subscribe to our show here and at https://www.instagram.com/singlemaltfrontier - Buy our glencairns! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIxRxNT_WdJx0gedh0Nuh4RtXLUo5WxbBtmlp4yk9me8IZ9A/viewform - Follow Doug at https://www.instagram.com/demitastes and https://demitastes.com/ Companion channels: - 3 Guys 1 Grain - https://www.youtube.com/@3guys1grain - 3 of your favorite ASMW-loving youtubers discuss ASMW from the consumer perspective - Ranger's Respite (Phill) - https://www.youtube.com/@therangersrespite - Phill's whiskey reviews and commentary - Off Topic Whiskey (Randall) - https://www.youtube.com/@offtopicwhiskey - a podcast with a down-to-earth take on all things whiskey - Freedom Malts (Jerm) - https://www.youtube.com/@freedom_malts - home of the Blind Sample Showdown --- Barrel Picks: Our McCarthy's Barrel #701 is now SOLD OUT.
