Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey

Very simple but very flavorful. Unique in that the malted barley is mesquite smoked. The mesquite flavor is present but not overpowering. Has a very smooth finish

Easy sipper, not too much heat or smoke... Maybe just a bit of a fruity note.

Tangerine and salt in the nose Subtle fruity but they back of mesquite the mesquite is very subtle

Batch #13. I honestly don't understand the reviews by this site or other reviewers. I think maybe you all have blown out your senses smoking cigars. On first taste this was one of the worst whiskeys I have ever had, on par with Wyoming Whiskey early batches. Smoke covering a terribly bitter product. I will say it tasted better after it aired out a bit so I raised a half star and the possibility I have a bad early batch. I also dont think this site or reviewers take into account value. If I go to a restaurant and a burger is $25, it better be one of the best burgers I've ever had vs expectations on a $10 burger. The Quiet Man 8yr Double Gold San Francisco Spirits, amazing taste and value, $44.95, 86 this site. This product, 2yrs (and I'm not age snob, I think product has other issues besides age) $44.95, 91 this site, enough said.

This is a very interesting whiskey. I definitely get smoke on the nose, and an almost peaty character. The smell is very much like a scotch, but different enough. The mesquite smoke comes through on the palate, and it has a pretty intense, long finish. I’m not totally sure what to make of this. I like it, and it’s certainly unique.

The mesquite has a cleaner character than peat.
