McCarthy's 3 year old (W32-01), 42.5%

This malt’s age belies its depth and layers of complexity. The nose unfolds slowly, with wispy smoke and a murky grassiness rising through dried apricots and raisins. Time releases a light malt funk and honeyed sweetness, tempered by the slightly bitter smoke. The palate retains the smoke, beneath which rests raspberry lemonade, sweetened oatmeal, and milk chocolate. Driftwood, campfire smoke, and dried fruit linger as the slightly spice finish tapers off.
