The West Cork Irish IPA Cask Matured Blended Irish Whiskey is a unique blend of 75% grain whiskey and 25% malt whiskey, showcasing the innovative spirit of the West Cork Distillery, located on Ireland's southern coast. Distilled and bottled by West Cork Distillers, this whiskey is first aged in first-fill bourbon casks before being transferred to casks that previously contained Black's of Kinsale IPA for a finishing period. This dual aging process results in a rich aroma of roasted nuts, sweetness, and spice notes. The flavor profile is characterized by a sweet and slightly grainy taste with hints of citrus grass, followed by a finish that carries a subtle hoppy flavor and floral notes. With an alcohol content of 40% Vol. in a 700ml bottle, this whiskey offers a light and fresh experience that allows for easy conversation while savoring its high quality, whether enjoyed alone or with friends.
