Clear Creek McCarthy’s Malt Whiskey Sherry Cask Finished 750mL

For those who know, McCarthy’s is the foundational text of American Single Malt. For decades, the team at Clear Creek Distillery has been proving that you don’t need a Scottish zip code to produce world-class peat. This specific bottling takes that legendary, Islay-inspired smoke and gives it a sophisticated, continental makeover.

While the flagship McCarthy’s is aged in Oregon Oak, this expression spends its final months in Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is a stunning tug-of-war between rugged Pacific Northwest terroir and the refined sweetness of Spanish fortified wine.

It’s rare to find a whiskey that honors its roots so fiercely while exploring new territory. It maintains the 3-year age statement—which, in the cool climate of the PNW, is the “sweet spot” for balancing grain character with wood influence.
