Special Features:

Finishing in double-charred oak casks gives this Thin Lizzy whiskey its distinctive character. The blend combines triple-distilled grain and malt whiskeys initially matured in former bourbon casks. The whiskey then underwent a finishing period in double-charred American oak casks. Its flavour brings pronounced vanilla sweetness together with malt and a restrained smoky note.

The connection to the band extends from the whiskey's development to its label. In Skibbereen, Scott Gorham and Brian Downey worked on the whiskey with Philip Lynott's wife Caroline, his daughters Sarah and Cathleen, and the head distiller at West Cork Distillers. The label was designed by Dublin artist Jim Fitzpatrick, who had already created numerous Thin Lizzy album covers. The whiskey is bottled at 40% alcohol in 0.7-litre bottles, without chill filtration or added colouring.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Sweet vanilla notes meet malt on the nose.
  • Palate: Pronounced vanilla sweetness leads on the palate, accompanied by a light smoky note.
  • Finish: Vanilla and malt linger through the long finish, complemented by a subtle hint of smoke.

Distillery/Bottler:

West Cork Distillers began in Union Hall in 2003 with three friends and two small stills. Today, the distillery is located in Skibbereen, in Ireland's County Cork, and remains owned by its founders. It sources all its grain and barley from Ireland and triple-distils its whiskeys, combining Irish raw materials with its own on-site production.

For Thin Lizzy, West Cork Distillers contributed its distilling expertise, while the participating band members and the Lynott family helped shape the development of their shared whiskey. The visual design was also a collaboration: Jim Fitzpatrick developed the label with the distillery's branding team. The whiskey's connection to the band therefore lies not only in its name, but also in the people involved and its design.
