McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt (Batch W13-01)

3 year old peated malt whisky aged in Oregon oak. Rich nose of peat—burning leaves a touch of sweet diesel—and fresh oak. There's no stinting on the peat; it's young it's in your face. Whiskey to stand toe-to-toe with Portland's hopped-to-blazes beers. Not just peat: creamy malt makes a solid floor and an exit that may be the most complex part of the experience. Refined for a 3 year old. Limited annual release.
