That's made of imported barley peated in Scotland. It's then fermented by Widmer, the craft brewery in Portland before being sent to the distiller. Very interesting.
It's a fascinating approach to get to such a great end result. Good on them!
I like the fact that at the 3:00 mark, our lady has no idea wtf she is saying
That’s how we roll. 😂 Thanks for watching!
I have a store in my area that online says they have two left @ 49.99 each. Not going to say where as this store has over 50 locations and only the downtown ones and one 20 minutes away have any. Don't want Kurt from SLB crossing the border and getting them LOL.
Great strategy. Kurt is crafty! 😂
@@stuffandwhiskey Just read the notes on the store website, it's the 3 year old stuff. I might still get it. On the good side my cousin in Portland OR works for one of the big distributor's and there's a wedding this summer for his kid. Thinking about driving to haul stuff back.
You guys are great! I love what u guys are doing. New whiskey drinker here, but I'm so excited about the fledgling American single malts. Keep these videos coming.
I like the review.... I had a Westland Peated whiskey that reminded me of Islay whisky, and then I learned that part of their mash included peated malted barley from Scotland.
Had to watch this one! Really getting into American SM myself lately.
Great job!
Thanks Kurt! You'd likely love this one!
I visited there probably 15 years ago. I really didn't like peat at the time (only rarely like it now) and wasn't a huge fan back then. I had it not that long ago, and I still slightly enjoy Port Charlotte 10. loved some of their aged fruit brandies. Their aged apple brandy beats most XO Calvados for me.
I was worried that quality might dip when they got bought, but so far so good. I worried the same about Westland and Woodinville here in Washington, but I think they've all actually gotten better for it.
Double Oh faces!!! Great reactions! Quack block!
This one was a lot of fun!
I have gotten into American Single Malts a little bit of late. Y'all need to find The Quintessential from Cedar Ridge distillery in Iowa. Jason C from Mash and Drum and Fred Minnick are both big fans. It's phenomenal and I think about $60.
Great review!
I am gonna have to see if I can find this. That’s awesome I was wondering if there was a good American single malt. Hot Chicken is great. Love Bolton’s.
Bolton's is so good, and we just had our favorite (Pepperfire) for lunch today.
@@stuffandwhiskey I haven’t tried Pepperfire yet but next time I’m in Nashville I’ll definitely give it a try.
Peat is 🤢 but I expect you’ll find a way to get me to try it. You know you called it right though…I won’t like it. 😜
I asked dates what they were passionate about too. I had someone with no answer and that was a short date.
You guys are great! we love your shows. ps your wife is BEAUTIFUL.
I was trying to find out about this Single Malt on their website, but it doesn't mention who is Steve McCarthy??
The late Steven McCarthy was the Founder and Master Distiller at Clear Creek Distillery.
This is the one that was in the video. Hope it helps! www.totalwine.com/spirits/american-whiskey/american-single-malt/mccarthys-6-year-oregon-single-malt-whiskey/p/243273750
I can get it at our local liquor store for $53.
Sorry guys, there are several peated Scotch Whiskies (Ardbeg 10 for example) that you can buy for less than $100. I would not pay $100 for this domestic single malt. May be worth trying for $50.
guyss bring out the bottle, make it easy for us viewers, i have to scroll through the comment section just wanting to know the name of the whiskey
We don't have the bottle on hand, and for these we love to bring you along for the ride blind with us to erase all the preconceived notions so you can decide whether or not what we say about the pour speaks to the whiskey you'd like to try. That said, we hear you. There's pros and cons to each approach. For our Wednesday videos we're started putting the bottle name at the end of the video title. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Stadium queso haha 🤣
Going in the record book with all the other landmark off-beat tasting notes around here for sure!
I've got a bottle of their standard strength of 43% which dropped to $50 out here in California. Yeah, definitely took me by surprise when I first had it.
I can tell you that the peated malt McCarthy's uses is in fact sourced from Scotland. Steve McCarthy's is considered to be one of the O.G's of the American Single Malt scene (another one should be the founder of California's St. George Distillery right near me in Alameda) and a godfather of distilling in Oregon at the very least. He had since retired in 2014 and Clear Creek Distillery was purchased by Hood River Distillers. Sadly, Steve died from Parkinson's at nearly 80 years old just this January.
That's some great info to know. Kudos to Steve for his contribution to American whiskey and may he rest in peace.
But why is 100 dollars when it's made here at home. That price makes no sense .if that was an Scotch the price is justified they're coming very far from the other side of the pond.
My mind is more blown that you put out content 7 days a week and don’t know what cask strength means 🤯
We're full of surprises 😂
Phil at The Bourbon Van has been recommending this to me for months, but I can't get it here. It's on my to-buy list if I ever come across it.
I'm researching American single malt and this popped up 🤔
I appreciate the information 🥃🇺🇲
Local store was closing this out at $30. Jumped online, found your review, and bought a bottle based on your recommendation. Tried it and then went back the next day to get two more. I know this won't be $30 ever again or anywhere else, but it's the best $30 bottle I'll ever buy.
That’s wild value! Congrats on an amazing score!
I am very excited to see where this category goes in the years to come. My experience with American single malt is trending in the upward direction. There are definitely clunkers out there that are dead on arrival, but others surprised the heck out of me.
You and us, too. It feels like the category is only going to continue to grow as it spreads outside of Texas (which is where we think of when we think American single malt). With Jack Daniel's getting into the category, it's sure to help general interest levels a ton.
@@stuffandwhiskey the PNW has several companies, so living here I think of them before Texas. Westward and Westland are also great brands to check out.
I'm a big Balcones fan. Enjoy my Stranahan's Yellow Label and wasn't a big fan of Westland Peated.
You two are “It’s Bourbon Nights” doppelgänger
I actually prefer more of Josh & Erin more than Chad & Sarah. I think IBN has gone more specialty and is almost always reviewing "grail" type bourbons that few can get. I don't partake in the Bourbon Hunts anymore as there are still everyday on the shelf bourbons that can hold their own and don't break the bank. Keep up the energy Josh & Erin.
The biggest difference is that Chad and Sara actually know what they're talking about when it comes to whiskey! 😂
Thanks for the kind words by the way, Michael. Chad and Sara are incredible, and have been a huge part of building this amazing whiskeytube community. Without them, Bourbon Junkies, Jason at Mash & Drum, and Matt at ADHD Whiskey, we'd likely not be doing this ourselves. That said, we definitely try to speak to our own sensibilities and gear our content toward what matters most to us--good value without the hype or hassle of hunting, backed up by blind tastings to further dispel the hype and fear of missing out--and we feel like our perspectives make our content different enough to resonate with the folks who feel the same way. Cheers!
@@stuffandwhiskey I feel you two hold your own and explain what you are smelling & tasting in a way that the everyday person can understand & actually taste. Don't get me wrong, IBN offers a lot of technical info on their reviews and do watch them, but I can relate more to your methods of reviews.
I love watching you guys in the 'bloopers'. So sweet.
Well don't hate on me but I just picked up a bottle of this for $30 plus tax!!!
Fantastic price!
If you wanna stick it to ‘em grab a bottle of Ardbeg Wee Beastie - I love peat, but that bottle has big tire fire notes 😂
It’s in the blind pool. We love Ardbeg but have only tried Wee Beastie once and didn’t necessarily love it. Will be fun to revisit when it pops up.
Love Peat, peat peat peat...weird that some people hate it???...Wow Oregon coming up. $100 for Oregon peat, geeze hard to swallow a non Scotch at $100. Josh you chose Erin because she is spicy haha.
I have not seen McCarthys in Ca but will look now. One that I do enjoy from Oregon is Westward. They have a cask strength single malt that is excellent. I would put it closer to a Speyside as to my knowledge it is not peated. Great video. Love the bloopers.
Josh likes his chicken spicy! 😂
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
Mccarthys is a great brand! Cheers!
This is our first experience with them and it's certainly put them on our radar!
