Detailed Description
State-38 WI McKenzie Scottish Peat Smoked Whisky is made with peat-smoked malt sourced from Islay, as well as cherry wood and coffee-smoked barley, and then aged in new American oak barrels. A blurb from the distillery notes a “vibrant peat smoke front and rich chocolate finish,” as well as “strong caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon” from the barrels.
State-38 WI McKenzie Scottish Peat Smoked Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: First impression is of toasty whole grain and an indistinct funkiness. That grain note is quickly overtaken by powerful, salty peat smoke.
Palate: Much as the nose promised, it’s savory and salty, with more strong peat, along with pastrami and black pepper.
Finish: There’s a mild milk chocolate note in there, too. Campfire smoke and salt linger on the finish.
