The Original Santa Fe Whiskey Original Mesquite
In order for a spirit to be called Scotch Whisky it must be a product of Scotland. Although Santa Fe Spirits’ The Original Santa Fe Whiskey Single Malt is proud to pay homage to its heritage, this whiskey is much more than just another peat-smoked whiskey from across the pond and wouldn’t want to be called Scotch even if it could be.
Like its Scottish single malt cousins, The Original Santa Fe Whiskey is made entirely from malted barley, carefully distilled, and aged and finished in various oak casks to enhance the complex flavors inherent to true single malt whiskey. But there are key differences that set this remarkable spirit apart from its Scottish relatives.
While peat-smoked malt has always been a key ingredient in many well-known Scotch whiskies, The Original Santa Fe Whiskey’s wonderfully complex flavor profile benefits from a very different type of smoked malt: mesquite. The result is a smooth, mellow, mysteriously balanced hint of smoky complexity unique to Santa Fe Spirits.
The Original Santa Fe Whiskey’s unique barrel aging process also separates it from its low-altitude relatives. Santa Fe Spirits is located 7,000 feet above sea level in the high desert where local temperatures range from freezing cold to swelteringly hot, with very low humidity.
The Original Santa Fe Whiskey is the deliciously unique result of hybridizing time-honored Scottish distilling techniques with the unique flavors and climate of the Southwest.
