Corsair Triple Smoke American Single Malt

Smoked caramel, chocolate, a bit of heat, smooth finish

American single malts should be far more common than they are. I think we could easily surpass the UK with some effort. The Reservoir Dogs packaging is cheesy but I really enjoyed this one. It's like the Stooges or Hanoi Rocks of whisky. Awesome, unique, bold, punk, and not afraid to flaunt it. As an ex-smoker I really enjoyed the smoke.

Quite unique. The cherry wood gives it a strong sweet and rounded taste. The smoke is present, but far less prominent than I expected given the name. But it's a pleasant smoke, particularly on the finish. This is probably a young whiskey, but the three barrels round it out so nicely that it has an older demeanor. I tried this on two consecutive nights, and liked it better on night 2. I think it's unique enough that i needed a second glance.

Smokey smooth

Nose: gun oil, sweet, cherry, berries, a little bit of smoke Palate: sweet, very smokey, banana taffy, a little bit of malt, floral, a little spicy Finish: moderately spicy, smokey (peat and other), gun oil again. This is a very unique whiskey. It is complex and interesting, but not very enjoyable. It is a little like drinking the smells that come to mind when cleaning a gun. I really like the idea behind it and love that whiskey makers are experimenting and getting creative. Unfortunately this one is just not my taste.
