As any whiskey snob knows, "single malt" is a bit of a misnomer. Wood's Tenderfoot Whiskey is actually a combination of three barley malts, with a pinch of rye malt and wheat malt — but all blended at a single distillery, aged in American oak and bottled at 90 proof. Since that distillery is in Salida, "local" is admittedly a term of art, too. But since you can get this distinctive, smooth-but-smoky high-country libation at a number of local liquor stores, there's no need to drive 140 miles to the tasting room for a sampler of Wood's whiskey, rye and gin — although that does sound like a tasty idea.
