McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt

The nose is vegetal peat with green bark and moss. Surprising amount of alcohol punch. No sweetness. The taste still punches. Got some malt and peatiness. Bit hot. But it's very short. Almost no finish. Wish it lasted longer. It's definitely interesting. Fun to have around as a novelty. Probably won't be a standard. (It is fun to see the Pacific NW take its love of over-hopping beer, and now begin over-peating its whisky.)

Sweet smoky, no young malt sourness. One of the smoky USA single malts

Pretty good peat for an Oregon whiskey. However, at $60/bottle, it's far outshone by actual Islay Scotch in the same price range. No real reason to buy it again - it was mostly just a novelty purchase.

Light smoke aroma, smells like a blend of peat and char. Flavor is mostly light floral peat, a little bit of campfire comes in on the tail. Pretty rich and creamy, tail lingers a bit. More wood would have balanced it excellently.

Mild, goes down very smooth. Lightly sweet with grassy herbal notes and a smokey finish. Delicate flavor.
