McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt

Maysville - pretty good

Batch w14-01 was rated 96

i heard it rumoured that mccarthy was, if not emulating lagavulin 16, inspired by it in crafting this single malt...i can feel that...while not quite as overtly magical as the lag 16, the mccarthy is a very sophisticated and balanced dram that has a magic all its own...the smoke is potent but clean and not nearly overwhelming...totally reminiscent of a lakeside campfire...i'm instantly a fan!
