The ‘Class A’ Blend term was used in the years after Prohibition. It came about due to when well-aged whisky stock was low (much it is like today) and many companies created ‘Class A’ blends that were 100% whiskey, but consisted of a blend of different ages and types of whiskies. To be a ‘Class A’ Blend no neutral spirits, colors or flavors can be included, making it a pure whiskey offering. J.H. Cutter is a perfect representation of a ‘Class A’ Blend and as such is a ‘Pure American Whiskey’
