It is bottled at cask strength, 56.13% ABV, without chill filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcCarthy's whiskey was created by Steve McCarthy at Clear Creek Distillery in Portland, founded in 1985, and is one of the pioneers of American single malt. Made with peated barley, it brings gentle smoke together with the deep, jammy fruit of the PX finish. Drinkhacker scored it 95.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings warm saddle leather and sweet tobacco, reshaping into dark hazelnut butter and bergamot tea, centred on the lingering smoke of cold campfire embers. The palate is surprisingly rich, with a bright, piquant start: the jammy fruit of the sherry opens into a spice-filled middle of chicory and bitter chocolate, with raisin, black cherry, currant and blueberry cobbler. The finish brings back the peat, with tobacco leaf, sawdust and a final echo of wood smoke and dark fruit skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle with its orange label is a fine gift for adventurous whiskey lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat, then with a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saddle leather, sweet tobacco, hazelnut butter, bergamot tea and campfire smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jammy sherry fruit, chicory, bitter chocolate and black cherry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peat, tobacco leaf, sawdust and dark fruit skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hood River Distillers (McCarthy's, Clear Creek)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oregon Single Malt Whiskey, peated, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112.3 proof (56.13% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oregon oak, finished 4 months in PX sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oregon, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat with water on the side.
