Question 1

What does Boulder Peated Malt American Single Malt Whiskey taste like?

Accepted Answer

Boulder Peated Malt American Single Malt Whiskey is characterised by Smokey, New Wood, Toasted, Vanilla notes. Boulder Spirits' peated American single malt, distilled at the Rocky Mountain foothills, offers a distinctly New World take on a Scottish tradition using 100% malted barley and virgin American white oak. The light peat influence mingles with char and subtle BBQ smoke, while virgin oak contributes bold vanilla and spice rather than the subtlety of aged European wood. Bottled at 46% after at least three years maturation, it presents a bright, youthful energy with a drier finish than its Scottish counterparts. A curious dram for those curious about how American terroir and oak treatment reshape peated malt whiskey.
