Andalusia Stryker Smoked Single Malt
About Andalusia Stryker Smoked Single Malt
Andalusia Stryker is a distinctly Texan American single malt made from malted barley smoked with oak, mesquite, and applewood rather than peat. Double-distilled in copper and matured in charred oak barrels, it combines the traditions of smoky Scotch whisky with the flavors of Texas barbecue. Bottled at 100 proof, Stryker delivers bold hardwood smoke alongside caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, spice, and roasted malt. It earned 93 points and a place among Whisky Advocate’s Top 20 Whiskies of 2021.

Flavor Profile
Bold aromas of hardwood smoke, mesquite barbecue, caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, and charred apple open the whiskey. The palate develops Irish breakfast tea, pine, brown sugar, dark chocolate, roasted grain, black pepper, and warming oak. The finish is long and smoky, leaving caramel, mineral notes, charred wood, mint, and a slightly mentholated herbal character.
