Single Malt
Santa Fe Spirits
Santa Fe, NM
$100
100% malted barley (30% mesquite smoked)
Nose
Apple juice, Mott's apple juice quality, mesquite smoke, mezcal-like herbaceousness, burning apple wood
Palate
Not super sweet, medicinal smoky quality, similar to Isla character but distinct from peat, finished in mezcal and apple barrel blend impression, wisp of smoke like charred mesquite, light iodine undertone
Finish
Smoke lingers, iodine character, apple and smoke interplay
Very good
A uniquely regional Southwest expression that brilliantly balances mesquite smoke with apple brandy character in a way that only New Mexico could produce.
