Special Features:

West Cork Black Cask combines grain whiskey and malt whiskey to create a triple-distilled Blended Irish Whiskey with a five-year age statement. Heavily charred Level 5 bourbon casks shape its maturation and bring sweet vanilla and oak notes to the fore. This official bottling contains 0.2 litres, is bottled at 40% alcohol, is non-chill-filtered and contains colouring.

Pear and dried fruit provide fruity accents, while vanilla, caramel and malt form the sweet core. Grain, toasted oak and pepper offer a spicy counterpoint. Overall, the whiskey is considered non-smoky, with only a subtle hint of smoke in its aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: A warm note of grain forms the foundation of the aroma. Vanilla and brown sugar then emerge, while the sweetness remains persistent.
  • Palate: The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with malt and vanilla meeting creamy caramel and balanced sweetness.
  • Finish: The finish is medium to long. Spicy oak carries the fading sweetness before gentle pepper and a hint of smoke round things off.

Distillery/Bottler:

At its site in Skibbereen, County Cork, West Cork Distillers brings together pot stills and column stills, maturation in its own warehouses and on-site bottling. The company was founded in 2003 by three childhood friends: John O’Connell, Denis McCarthy and Ger McCarthy. Black Cask is produced and bottled there as an official bottling.
