If you look in at this beautiful single malt, you’ll notice thin viscous legs clinging to the glass walls and a dry straw gold color shining out.
The nose is sweet and Speyside-like, It’s beautiful. There are notes of malt, strawberry milk, dried grass, honey, caramel, and mild mesquite smoke.
The palate has a more watery mouthfeel and sweet fruity notes of caramel apple, peach, lemon, apple skins, and BBQ char.
The finish starts with an initial heat then turns sweet like Smarties candy.
This is one of the tastiest American Single Malts I’ve had thus far! I really like the history of the distillery, vision behind the product, and dedication to local resource use. I definitely recommend and am excited to try more of their products. Colkegan, well done! Sláinte!

I completely agree with your description. After several years of carrying this on my wish list I finally got to try it it’s a fantastic tasting American single malt. I only wish it was more widely available.
