News Sierra Nevada and St. George Spirits Release First Limited Edition Whisky

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and St. George Spirits are set to release a limited-edition collaboration malt whiskey distilled from grains and hops. The 45% abv whiskey, named Ruthless, has been eight years in the making and is scheduled to launch on December 18th.

In 2013, the brewer and distiller previously came together to create the Sierra Nevada beer, Ruthless Rye IPA. Ruthless whiskey began as a fully hopped and finished beer prior to distillation and was then laid down in new American oak and used French oak port casks in 2013.

This release is a blend of whiskeys from seven Ruthless Rye IPA casks and infused with a small portion of the first barrel of St. George Single Malt Whiskey, which was brewed by Sierra Nevada and distilled by St. George Spirits in 1997.

Ruthless will be available for $75 per bottle exclusively at the St. George Spirits Distillery in Alameda, CA. A limited number of bottles will be available for sale, in-person only, with a limit of two bottles per person.
