Dear TTB: What's Taking So Long?

Two years ago, the Treasury Department's Tax & Trade Bureau opened the bureaucratic process for issuing an official definition of American Single Malt Whisky. After a brief public comment period, the agency has yet to act on the proposal, and that has distillers of American Single Malts frustrated with the lack of action. We'll talk with Steve Hawley, executive director of the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission, about a new campaign to put pressure on the TTB to act. In the news, Diageo reports a sales decline for its fiscal year, while Campari beat analyst forecasts despite economic headwinds. We'll taste three American Single Malts in the What I'm Tasting This Week Department, and in our Behind the Label segment, we'll explain why "bottled in bond" doesn't just apply to Bourbons.
