West Cork 12-Year-Old Sherry Cask Finish, a limited release from the renowned West Cork Distillers in Skibbereen, Ireland, is a testament to the rich tradition and innovation synonymous with Irish whiskey. Released in 2017 as part of a trio of 12-year-old expressions, this single malt is uniquely finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, imparting distinctive layers of flavor and aroma. Characteristically triple-distilled and non-chill filtered, this non-peated single malt first matures in first-fill ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak, enhancing it with beautiful vanilla and caramel notes. The subsequent sherry cask finish adds an extra dimension of fruitiness to the profile. On the nose, the West Cork 12-Year-Old Sherry Cask Finish reveals inviting aromas of vanilla pod, rhubarb tart, and orange peel, complemented by dried plums, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The palate tantalizes with an initial sweetness that transitions to a dry, complex arrangement of cinnamon, clove, leather, dried fruits, and spice. The finish is long and lingering, characterized by notes of oak, caramel, spice, and ginger, ending with a unique blackcurrant flavor that leaves a lasting impression. Bottled at an ABV of 43% and presented in a 700 ml size, this whiskey is as visually appealing as it is delicious, promising a delightful drinking experience.
