Big change with water, Smoother with water it mellows it out
Big bite at the start
Would benefit from more aging in cask

Fun Facts:
Batch 23, Bottle # 210

“Instead of using Scottish peat, we used Texas mesquite,” says the label on Ranger Creek’s Rimfire, a single malt whiskey made in San Antonio, Texas, and the second release of Ranger Creek’s Small Caliber Series, following their .36 Texas Bourbon.
It’s a catchy phrase, but more than that it speaks to the intent of Rimfire, a Texas-born,Scottish-bred, mesquite-smoked single malt whiskey. After a much-delayed legal labeling and classification process, spurred along in a small way by a helpful hand from Whiskey Reviewer editor Richard Thomas, Rimfire was released at the end of March, with a limited run of less than 500 cases of hand-numbered 375ml bottles.
NSC Comments:
Rimfire – whiskeys are all named after rifles
Like the nose, Some kind of fruit under taste
Does not taste like a whiskey, Some smoke in the nose , but not on the taste
