McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt Oloroso Cask Finish 6 year 750 ML
About this bottle
McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt Oloroso Cask Finish is a six-year single malt from Clear Creek Distillery in Portland, aged in the distillery's standard casks before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks. The base spirit leans smoky and peated in the Islay tradition Clear Creek built its reputation on, and the sherry finish layers in caramel, butterscotch, and dried summer fruit without erasing that smoke. Expect peat and campfire char on the nose, hazelnut and buttered toast through the middle, and a long finish of tobacco and lingering peat. Bottled at 112 proof, it's a genuinely different take on American single malt for anyone who wants Islay-style smoke with a sherried sweetness underneath.
How to drink McCarthy's Oloroso Cask Finish
Neat is the move here — 112 proof carries the peat and sherry fruit without needing water to open up, though a few drops won't hurt. Ice mutes the smoke more than it should; if you want it cold, keep it to one large cube.
