The Fairy Cask 2011 Bourbon & Port Wine Cask is a limited edition Irish whiskey that showcases the innovative use of cask types in the aging process. Mareike Spitzer, the proprietor of an Irish whiskey and spirits importing and online retail company, personally selected the casks during a trip to Ireland. This single grain whiskey, made from unmalted grains, was initially aged for seven years in first-fill bourbon casks made of American white oak. It then underwent a three-year finishing period in a port wine cask. The final product, a cask strength whiskey, was released without the addition of coloring or chill filtration.
The Fairy Cask 2011 Bourbon & Port Wine Cask whiskey offers a fruity aroma of plums and red currants, complemented by a delicate herbal undertone and a sweetness reminiscent of pudding. On the palate, it delivers notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of red fruit compote, along with roasted, buttery flavors. The high-alcohol whiskey avoids a harsh bite, instead offering a long-lasting finish where fruit and vanilla sweetness linger. It is recommended to savor this impressive release in peace, with a few drops of water.
Mareike Spitzer's company, which also acts as an independent bottler of Irish whiskey, has added the Fairy Cask line to its portfolio, a brand that draws inspiration from Irish folklore and its mythical creatures.
