McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt Whiskey is an American single malt whiskey created in style of an Islay distiller. The rough distillate is first cycled through a sherry cask, before being aged in locally made oak barrels. It is bottled is an unbelievably short time, 3 years, but is said to have a much more mature flavor than one would expect from such a young drink. It is said to be a smooth peaty whiskey with a clean finish.
It has received some critical acclaim, and has even been called the best small batch whiskey in the world.
