Lost Lantern 2021 Single Cask #6: McCarthy's 6-Year-Old Oregon Peated Single Malt
Clear Creek Distillery's flagship whiskey, McCarthy’s, is one of the very first American
single malts and it’s the first one that we fell in love with. The distillery helped to establish the very idea of American single malt whiskey, and McCarthy's has set a very high standard. We are very honored to be able to offer this single cask, which was aged for six years, making it one of the oldest whiskies ever to come from Clear Creek.
This single malt was made from UK barley that was malted with peat from the island of
Islay. It was aged for six years in a 228-liter 3rd-fill Oregon oak cask with a medium toast
and medium char. This whiskey features the intense depth of smoke seen in the best-peated whiskies while retaining freshness and a lightly fruity character that reflects the
bounty of the Pacific Northwest.
