Clear Creek McCarthy’s 6 Year Old “K&L Exclusive” Cask Strength Single Barrel #367 Peated Single Malt Oregon Whiskey (750ml) $109.99 View

This wonderful barrel of whisky was distilled on January 4th of 2016 at the original Clear Creek facility in Portland before being filled into refill Oregon oak at a filling proof of 55% abv. Like all McCarthy’s Whisky it was double distilled on small copper pots from heavily peated Scottish barley, fermented naturally and bottled without the use of additives or chillfiltration. The barrel would have been transferred shortly after barreling to the new Hood River distillery location where it aged for more than 6 years in the unique Cascadian climate. Harvest on August 29th, 2022, it rested in tank for an additional 2 months before bottling on October 10th, 2022. Hand selected by K&L’s Spirits Buying team, this is one of the few true cask strength single barrels ever to make it to our shelves and easily one of the most special. McCarthy’s does an incredible job to produce whisky of great complexity and maturity at a young age, this is pushing the limits of the oldest we’ve ever come across. Powerful smoke, a zesty cleansing oceany character balanced by a sweet malty core, no Islay drinker will be able resist this special cask strength single barrel from one of the US’s original craft distillers. A true gem by any measure!
