McCarthy's 6 year old (Batch MC6-22-01), 50%

Price: 90 Issue: Fall 2023 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

This one has no cask finishing, unlike the other two 6 year old expressions in the McCarthy’s stable. Smoky on the nose, seaside notes of dried sea shells, plus leather-bound books. The palate is less smoky, and offers notes of honey, peach, toast, and bitter oak. The finish is very friendly and goes down easy, still with balanced sweetness and whiffs of campfire smoke.
