McCarthy’s Oregon Cognac Cask Finish Single Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Smoky but not aggressively so; it’s more barbecue-smoky than seashore-smoky, with black pepper and a noticeable dose of rubber mixed in. Nicely counterweighted by dark fruit notes like blackberry.
Palate: Peat and salt at first, followed by a nice winey fruit character at the back of the tongue. Drying on the palate.
Finish: Wood smoke and a little oak on the finish.
