West Cork Cask Strength - Blended Irish Whiskey
Special features: This blended Irish whiskey combines 66% grain and 34% malt whiskey, which initially matures in first-fill bourbon casks and then ages for six months in used Irish whiskey barrels. Bottled at cask strength with 62% ABV and neither chill-filtered nor colored, it presents itself as a powerful special release from West Cork Distillers.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh, fruity aromas of vanilla and grain.
Palate: Powerful with notes of malt, dried fruits, and orange peel, accompanied by a balanced sweetness.
Finish: Long and peppery, with a pleasant warmth.
Distillery/Bottler: West Cork Distillers, founded in 2003 by Denis McCarthy, Ger McCarthy, and John O’Connell, are one of the few independent distilleries in Ireland. They focus on craftsmanship and use only self-malted grain and spring water from the nearby Ilen River.
