Exploring a Texas Smoked Single malt made grain to glass in Blanco, Texas. Smoked with Mesquite, oak, and applewood, it is Texas BBQ in a glass.

Auchentoshan Distillery | American Oak | Scotland | $35.00* | 80 proof | No Age Statemen | 100% malted barley

Do not let the straw-like color fool you; this 80 proof stirs vanilla and dark fruits in the first whiffs.

My tasting notes or whiskey review of Teeling Whiskey's Single Malt. A 100% malted barley Irish Whiskey. They use five wine casks for maturation (sherry, port, Madeira, white burgundy, and cabernet sauvignon). The combination of barrels creates a fruit-forward whiskey on the nose. The whiskey has fruits, oak tannins, and a little spice through the taste and final finish of a cooling fruity sweetness.
