Louisiana-based JT Meleck Distillers has launched the ‘first’ commercially available American whiskey to be made 100% from rice.
Owner and founder Mike Frugé and his family of fifth-generation rice farmers have released a full batch of the new JT Meleck Rice Whiskey following the success of the Founder’s Small Batch Edition rice whiskey last year, which has since sold out.
