The West Cork 12-Year-Old Port Cask Finish is a remarkable single malt Irish whiskey crafted by the esteemed West Cork Distillers. This limited release is not just an exceptional spirit but also a bottle for a cause, as all proceeds benefit the Cork Simon Community. This small-batch whiskey undergoes meticulous maturation in first-fill Bourbon casks followed by a finishing period in QUINTA DA BOEIRA Port casks from Portugal's renowned Douro Valley. Bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this whiskey is a testament to the resurgence of Ireland's whiskey industry. For many years, the Irish whiskey industry faced immense challenges that stunted its growth and diversity. However, independent producers like West Cork Distillers have revitalized the market, offering aged single malts at accessible prices. The West Cork 12-Year-Old Port Cask Finish is a shining example of this revival. Triple distilled for smoothness, this whiskey enjoys its final flourish in Port wine casks, which impart rich, fruity notes and a unique character. This exquisite single malt captivates the senses with an aromatic bouquet featuring blueberries, sweet raspberries, vanilla, and ripe forest fruits like blackberries. As it touches the palate, you'll experience the sweetness of grapes and Port, mingled with hints of campfire smoke, malt, dark berries, honey, and caramel. The finish is medium-long, exceptionally fruity with lingering notes of grapes, red fruits, vanilla, caramel, and a touch of chocolate. Despite its rarity, this whiskey is no longer in stock at many retailers, making it a sought-after gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
This whiskey is finished in QUINTA DA BOEIRA Port casks, giving it rich, fruity notes and a unique character uncommon in other Irish whiskeys.
The whiskey undergoes a finishing period of approximately 110 days in Port wine casks.
This whiskey is produced by West Cork Distillers, an independent distillery known for revitalizing Ireland's whiskey industry.
