West Cork Bourbon Cask 5 y.o. - 200ml
Special features: The West Cork Bourbon Cask is an Irish whiskey produced at the West Cork Distillery. It matures for five years in bourbon cask-aged barrels, resulting in a pronounced vanilla note. This original bottling is characterized by its natural color and is not chill-filtered. The whiskey is not smoky, making it suitable for lovers of milder flavors.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: The nose reveals intense notes of grain and vanilla, accompanied by a lingering sweetness. Light spice and caramelized brown sugar round off the aroma.
- Palate: Malt and vanilla dominate with a balanced sweetness. The creamy texture brings forth flavors of caramel and a subtle spice.
- Finish: The finish presents a medium to long aftertaste with fading sweetness and an oak-spiced creaminess. Gentle pepper notes and a hint of smoke at the end.
Distillery/Bottler: The West Cork Distillery was founded in 2003 in Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland. It produces both single malt and blended whiskeys and is known for creative cask finishes. The West Cork Bourbon Cask offers intense vanilla and roasted aromas due to its maturation in Level-5-charred bourbon barrels.
