Special Features:

This five-year-old blended Irish whiskey is made from 75% grain whiskey and 25% malt whiskey. The blend matures in first-fill bourbon casks; West Cork Distillers triple-distils the whiskey and bottles it at 40%.

The whiskey is non-chill-filtered and contains colouring. Its profile combines malt and lingering sweetness with apple, citrus and nutmeg, complemented by vanilla, caramel, pepper and oak notes.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: The nose offers malt and lingering sweetness alongside citrus, apple and nutmeg. Hay, freshly cut grass, caramel, pear and a hint of prune complete the aroma.
  • Palate: The whiskey is soft and balanced on the palate. Malt and barley meet vanilla and light citrus notes, while cracked black pepper adds a spicy accent.
  • Finish: The whiskey fades gently on the finish with a sweet note of candyfloss.

Distillery/Bottler:

West Cork Distillers was founded in 2003 by childhood friends John O’Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy. Their first distilling experiments used two small pot stills in a room behind Denis McCarthy’s home in Union Hall; today, the company operates in Skibbereen in the west of County Cork.

The distillery builds some of its own equipment and sources all of its grain from Irish farmers. The whiskeys in the Classic Blends range are triple-distilled, non-chill-filtered, matured and bottled on site; Bourbon Cask belongs to this range.
