West Cork 5 y.o. Pot Still Whiskey

Special features: This Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey from West Cork Distillers impresses with a unique mash bill of 66% malted and 33% unmalted barley. After triple distillation in the in-house "Rocket Still," the fastest pot still in the world, the whiskey matured for five years in first-fill bourbon casks. This innovative production method gives the whiskey its characteristic flavor and depth.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromas of hay and freshly cut grass, accompanied by caramel and the sweetness of pears, underpinned with hints of dried plums.
• Palate: Layered complexities of barley and malt, harmoniously combined with vanilla and a touch of black pepper.
• Finish: A gentle aftertaste of cotton candy rounds off the tasting experience.
