A word about American single malts......

American single malt whiskeys are starting to really come into their own.Many of them have won awards and Ive heard that they are trying to establish an commission to dicate offical standards for the spirt.But as I understand it,they havent been around long enough to be able to create a truly long-aged product.(The oldest Ive seen are 10-12 year old whiskey.)When the companies last long enough to produce 25,30 and 50 year old expressions,things should start to get REALLY interesting!
