Whiskey Union Smoky Goat
(0.7l, 40%)
The smoky creature.
Ladies, gents and connoisseurs of all things good,... there’s a new Whiskey collective in town that’s set to surprise and please our Whiskey senses and that it does. Whiskey Union proclaim themselves as a creative collective of Whiskey makers, visionaries and hedonists in pursuit of unconventional blends and extraordinary flavor sensations. While the established brands craft the Bentleys and the Jaguars of Whiskey—which is all fine and dandy—the fellas at Whiskey Union choose to break with convention, experiment with flavor and tread on the sporty side of things; they manufacture well-tuned Ferraris, so to speak, to keep your taste buds on the edge and your belly humming.
Smoky Goat—a blended Scotch Whisky—is the first of the three unconventional expressions they’ve released so far, the other two being Boxing Hares and Huxley. It’s named after the wild goats native to Scotland. It embodies the remote and rugged nature of the land and the tough, playful character of its goats (and people some would say). It’s a blend of 3 unique Whisky styles: sweet grain, body & character of a Highlander and smoke for which the Islay is famed for. Craig Wallace, it’s creator, envisioned the smokiest of blends finely balanced with a tinge of irresistible sweetness.
It’s handmade in small batches with three different cask types: refill, rejuvenated and first fill bourbon casks. It’s advised you serve it on the rocks so the ice slowly unleashes the smoky flavor. Our take? Smoky Goat is a most deserving homage to Scotland’s finest flavors.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured longer).

Maja,
Great
Maja,
Great taste
JOHN,
Strong coal and leather bite
Alfie,
Not as smoky as I thought it would be, but still an enjoyable whisky. The smell was fruity and sweet, but then tasted it and felt a bit more caramel on the palate and also toffee. Little bit of a bitter taste at the end, but still enjoyed this!
Keara,
Smoky and smooth
