Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey
American Single Malt
Santa Fe Spirits // New Mexico, USA
This New Mexico distillery takes a decidedly Scottish approach to their single malt whiskey, yet is unmistakably American in its use of mesquite smoking, rather than peat smoking a portion of their malted barley.
The whiskey spends a minimum of 2 years in new and used American oak barrels.

Tasting Notes
"On first sniff, you’d swear you were getting notes of brine and peat, but wow, this is something quite different. Those expecting overwhelming mesquite on the palate will be pleasantly surprised by its subtle integration and almost gentle mouthfeel. The finish is assertive and long. This is a must try for peaty Scotch lovers looking for something quite different, yet equally satisfying. "
