Whisky Advocate’s Artisan Whiskey of the Year – The whis- key that put us on the map.
We use three individually smoked malts (cherrywood from Wisconsin, beechwood from Germany, and peat from Scotland) to craft this deep and complex whiskey. Using 3 distinct smokes provides consistent and balanced smoke from nose to the pallet and throughout the finish.
Corsair never uses artificial flavors or colors, achieving superior flavor and color through quality malted barley, innovative distillation and small barrel maturation.
Tasting Notes
Smoke and notes of cherry pervade the palate, finished by a slight brininess from the mossy peat. Pot distilled then aged in new American charred oak, Triple Smoke has the sweetness of an American whiskey with the rich smoke of an Islay single malt scotch.

A good local alternative for peaty Scotch-lovers, made with a unique blend of three batches of whiskeys smoked with cherry wood, beech wood and peat. Given some time to open up, a waft of smoke mingles with the fruity, malty scent. On the palate, the smoke really builds, but manages to hit the brakes before it overwhelms everything, fading into a burnt-orange, caramel finish. Pair with aged cheeses.
