Our McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt Whiskey barrel pick is finally in bottles! This video has all the details about the pick, tasting notes, and a brief history of McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt with Master Distiller Caitlin Bartlemay.

The bottle will soon be available to purchase via a private link and password which you can get in The Whiskey Lodge. Stay tuned for further details about when and how it will be available.

Final specs: McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt Whiskey, Single Barrel #701, Cask Strength, aged 6.5 years in an ex-Casa Magdalena Rum Cask. Final yield is 156 bottles. Final strength is 56.83% ABV / 113.66 proof.

Price will be $119.99 before taxes and shipping. HRD ships to most states; see https://hrdspirits.com for the detailed list of states. It will be the same shipping cost for 1-6 bottles, and you can combine your order of the McCarthy’s pick with anything else on the site. Other McCarthy’s bottlings are a no-brainer, but may we also recommend the Clear Creek Pear Brandy (not to mention the other lovely brandies and many other products).
