Distillery tour today. Andalusia Whiskey Company is located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country about an hour from Austin or San Antonio. They do all their own smoking of their barley, as well as age and bottle on site. Among Texas distilleries, they get a lot of press, and have been featured in Texas Monthly and Whisky Advocate. Maybe it was because I was drinking Ardbeg last night, but I was hoping for more with this peated whiskey. Maybe it's the fact that American single malt should stick to its wheelhouse, and smoke their barley with what's nearby their distillery. Andalusia's Stryker does this, and stands far above this one, which is smoked with imported Irish peat. It's good, but a bit thin. Reminds me of Connemara, which I believe I rated similarly. This one took a PX finish well, which was another distillery exclusive, and helped round out some of the thinness in the peat.
