St. George Spirits Baller Single Malt Whiskey is a California single malt distilled from 100% American barley — distilled in traditional pot stills, aged 3 to 4 years in used bourbon and French oak wine casks, given a final pass through maple charcoal, and finished in casks that once held St. George’s house-made umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur crafted from California-grown ume fruit).

The umeshu cask finish is the defining signature of the Baller line — it gives the whiskey a distinctive plum, stone-fruit, and gentle Japanese-style brightness that sets it apart from conventional American single malts. Since 1982, St. George Spirits has sat at the leading edge of the American craft distillation movement, with the umeshu-finished Baller reflecting the distillery’s comfort moving between American and Japanese whiskey traditions.
