Title:
McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt Whiskey
Description:
Vital Stats: 3 years aged in Oregon oak barrels. 42.5% ABV. American Single malt, bottled in 750 mL, $55, This review is based off of a bottle from batch no: W14 – 01
Appearance: Honeyed gold
Nose: Incredibly light. I was expecting intense peat smoke right away, but instead got wisps. Hints of charred BBQ, like the blackened ends of brisket mixed with some burning rubber. This whiskey is youthful on the nose.
Palate: The smoke comes in sharp and intense at first, with more mesquiteBBQ flavors overlaid with bitter dark chocolate ending in an abrupt, astringent finish. Adding a little water highlighted some buttery caramel notes that weren’t too apparent before. The peat level is on the milder side, reminiscent of Talisker. The body is light, and would make me guess it was a blended Scotch in a blind tasting.
I can picture a group of friends, sitting around a campfire in the Oregon wilderness, passing a bottle of Clear Creek McCarthy’s Single Malt and enjoying is mild and quiet demeanor. Approachable and not complicated, it matches the informal and casual spirit of Oregon.
