Us Heit distillery is located in the United States and was founded in 2002 by Aart van der Linde. This relatively young distillery has quickly established itself in the whisky scene, focusing on producing high-quality single malt whiskies. Us Heit operates under independent ownership, allowing for creative freedom in production methods and expression. With an annual production capacity that caters to a niche market, Us Heit employs traditional distillation techniques while incorporating modern innovations. The distillery’s whisky character is marked by a complex flavor profile, featuring notes of malt, fruit, and cherry on the nose, transitioning to a palate rich in oak, sweetness, and spices, with hints of chili and chocolate. The finish is notably sweet, leaving a lasting impression of chocolate. Among its notable expressions are the Frysk Hynder variants aged in port, red wine, and cognac casks, each offering unique tasting experiences. Visitors can explore the distillery and learn about its production process, as well as sample its range of whiskies, including those aged between 3 to 7 years.
