As one of the oldest single malt whisky distilleries in the United States, making among the first single malts in the nation post-Prohibition, Triple Eight Distillery is leading the way toward a new category of American Single Malt Whisky.

Tucked away at the famed Cisco Brewers property on Nantucket, Triple Eight has long dedicated itself to making fine spirits. In 2000, Triple Eight began distilling The Notch, using the collective wisdom of their brewers, distillers, and vintners, and guided by renowned experts George McClements and John Ramsay in the early years in making the final blend.

What makes The Notch so special? The short answer is the atmosphere. The natural beauty of the  island, what makes Nantucket magical—the clear blue skies, the intoxicating scents of Rosa rugosa,  honeysuckle, and bayberry mingling with the salt air, a damp fog rolling in—is embodied in The Notch.
