Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey
American Single Malt — New Mexico, USA
Reviewed June 12, 2020 (edited August 20, 2021)The color of this whiskey treasure is liquid gold, and thin semi-viscous legs grace the glass walls after a swirl. The delectable nose is a balance of fruity & savory and possesses notes of sea salt, mesquite smoke, grilled BBQ, pear and apple, ripe banana, strawberry, and raisins. The palate is delicious with an almost dusty mouthfeel and notes of smoke and pork burnt ends, licorice candy, watermelon, and ripe cantaloupe. The finish is long, fresh and tangy. In my humble opinion, this whiskey sets the bar for the American Single Malt. It is so complex yet welcoming, savory yet sweet, and scotch-like, yet proudly American! I am a big fan and will be buying another bottle! I highly recommend! Sláinte! -
This savory scotch is a very light straw yellow color with thin semi-watery legs. I’d describe this nose as spunky; young perhaps, but having good character. There are notes of tar, slight acidity, iodine, sea salt, peaty smoke, graham crackers, burnt marshmallows, and nougat from a candy bar. The palate is savory with notes of my wife’s salted dried seaweed snacks, an earthiness, leather, mint, and Fruit Gushers candy. The finish is long with a taste of thick char and smoke.

Wasmund's Single Malt
American Single Malt — Virginia , USA
Reviewed May 19, 2020 (edited June 7, 2021)This whiskey is a brass color with thin and watery legs. The nose is very woody, and also smells like burning paint. I can’t say I like it at all. The palate is oily, bitter, overly tannic, and has a strange note of kale. The finish, if you do swallow, is of medium length and gets sweeter. I’m not going to lie, I took only a few sips then couldn’t take it any more. I poured out the rest it was so bad! I love the American Single Malt category, but this one does not serve it justice. Sorry Copper Fox Distillery. Cheers! -
