A single malt whiskey "aged and finished in various oak casks". Its makers, Santa Fe Spirits say they use a "very different type of smoked malt utilized by no other distillery in the world."

The casks are aged at 7,000 feet above sea level in the high desert in a climate-controlled warehouse "with temperatures ranging from freezing cold to swelteringly hot, and humidities ranging from bone dry to unbelievably damp."[sic]
