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.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
guest,
Its smooth with a smoky vanilla flavor, I like it
David,
I loved it was smooth and a brilliant smokey after taste. Must buy some more
Leanna,
Nice smokiness with subtle sweetness. Not too overpowering. Great for its price
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.
