10th Street STR Single Malt is a type of whiskey produced by 10th Street Distillery, located in San Jose, California. “STR” stands for “shaved, toasted, and re-charred,” which refers to a unique cask finishing process used in the production of this whiskey.
In the STR process, the interior of the whiskey barrels is first shaved to remove a thin layer of wood, then toasted to bring out certain flavors, and finally re-charred to add depth and complexity. This process can impart rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, and spice to the whiskey, enhancing its overall character.
10th Street Distillery is known for its innovative approach to whiskey making, and the 10th Street STR Single Malt is an example of its commitment to producing high-quality and distinctive spirits. As with other single malt whiskies, it is typically made from malted barley and aged in oak barrels, though the STR finishing process sets it apart and contributes to its unique flavor profile.
