Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Texas single malt made the deliberate way: pot distilled from 100% Scottish Golden Promise malted barley, then matured for over 24 months in a mix of new American, French, and European oak barrels. At 106 proof it pours with real presence, yet the profile leans generous rather than hot. It opens on ripe, buttered stone fruit, banana, pear, honey, and a surprising lift of rose water and citrus. The palate is silky and full-bodied, with lightly toasted bread, fresh butter, marmalade, and baked apples and pears. A long finish follows, with burnt sugar, rich malt and wood, and gentle cinnamon and clove. It suits the Scotch drinker curious about what American malt can do, and it rewards the collector building a shelf of New World single malts. We carry it because it earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. More to the point, it tastes like a confident, distinctive malt rather than an imitation of anyone else.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The whisky's toffee, burnt sugar, and toasted malt notes play nicely against the deep, bittersweet flavor of dark chocolate.
- Aged cheeses — The rich, buttery palate and counterbalancing acidity stand up to the savory depth of well-aged cheeses.
- Curated home tasting flight — Its layered stone fruit, honey, and spice notes give guests plenty to discover side by side with other single malts.
