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.

Allen
Allen,
I feel like I was missing something here. A little thin, with a spirit undertone. Sweet on the front with a hint of smoke in the finish. Finish was fairly long - a little unidentifiable.
 
Ron
Ron,
Strong Carmel, light smoke versus the name, but all in all a very enjoyable blend. Nose is wonderful and finish is great.
 
Angel
Angel,
Great Value for Price!
 
Steven

Great value for your money! Little bit smokey with sweetness after that and a little spiciness to top it off.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Paired beautifully with a barrel aged cigar! Immediately a new favorite. I don’t usually go for scotch I prefer Kentucky Bourbon but this one really one me over
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Smokey with a lingering warmth in the back of the throat. This drinks similar to Johnnie Walker Green with perhaps a deeper hint of oak.

Leanna,
Nice smokiness with subtle sweetness. Not too overpowering. Great for its price
 
David
David,
If you poured printing solvents into a bonfire, and strained coffee through the ashen remnants, that’s what this might taste like. Did not care for.

Very nice! Smooth and delicious. Smoky with a nice kick.
 
Simone
Simone,
Very smooth. Smoky, spicy and with a sweet note that partially covers the alcohol content. Not exactly remarkable, but very good for this price.

Strong coal and leather bite
 
Alfie
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!

Smoky and smooth
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Very easy drinking spirit. Not overly smoked and a subtle sweetness that balances nicely with the slight bitterness.
 
Dan
Dan,
Excellent at this price. Works very well at room temperature in glas with nothing. I will buy another shortly. Cheers.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Absolute beaut of a blended. Not usually a fan of blended because I'm one of those single malt only guys. But this is good whiskers. And cheap as hell. Get it.
 
Randy
Randy,
Very interesting aftertaste, Scotch is not normally in my wheelhouse but was a good experience
 
John
John,
Not a fan. Too much “bonfire” taste for my liking
 
Christine
Christine,
Pleasantly sweet aroma - mix of vanilla and caramel, touch of smoke. Nice smoke in the flavor as well, though it doesn't compare in intensity to the smoke in a typical Islay single malt. Still very enjoyable - basically a sweet, subdued Islay where the flavor combination works well.

Love the flavor
 
Jason
Jason,
Very subdued smoke. Bland vanilla and clarified butter with a sprinkle of pepper at the end. Good, but too subdued to be great.
 
William
William,
What can I compare this to hmmmm, let's say a less intense version of talisker 10yr which for those that haven't tried that tastes of that smell of smoke while not the most appetising sounding drink I will say it's cheap and some people like that sort of thing. If you can't tell already from this lacklustre review I can't think of anything to say, you know what the drink is meh there you go meh.
 
Steven
Steven,
I generally prefer my whisky smoky, peaty, briny, some true grit on it. As with all things with a description in the title, this is not as smoky as it would like to be.
 
John
John,
nice taste, but a little too smokey for me
 
Jon
Jon,
Smooth criminal. I'm not a scotch fan due to peat, but this changed my mind
