Scottish Smoke, California Water
Light golden in the glass, the Peated Single Malt opens with citrus and a peat-smoke essence on the nose; the palate is creamy and full — vanilla and dark red apple peels giving way to rounded peat flavors, a delicate balance of fruity and smoky notes. The finish is full bodied and buttery with a lingering peaty tail. It is the smoky counterpoint to the distillery's STR expression and one of the two house malts blended into the California Coast. Explore American whiskey or the 10th Street range.
