The West Cork Rum Cask Finished Cask Collection is a unique and experimental Irish whiskey aged for a minimum of 12 years. This single malt whiskey starts its journey in traditional American bourbon casks before being finished in former Caribbean rum casks. This process imparts a distinct and rare quality, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs and collectors. The rum cask finishing process, not commonly employed for whiskey, adds an intriguing layer of complexity and exclusivity to this limited-edition release.
Crafted by West Cork Distillers, a young yet rapidly growing company based in Ireland, this whiskey exemplifies their innovative spirit and dedication to quality. Known for their experimentation with Irish single malt whiskey and cask aging, West Cork Distillers has created a product that rivals even the finest Scotch from Scotland.
The aroma and taste of this whiskey blend traditional Irish whiskey notes with fruity and sweet nuances, offering a refined tribute to West Indies rum. The combination of fruitiness, vanilla, rum notes, and caramel creates a smooth and accessible flavor profile. The finish is crafted to be savored slowly, enhancing the special nature of this highly rated limited edition.
Aged initially in first-fill bourbon casks and then finished in Consorcio Licorero Nacional rum casks, this whiskey reveals flavors of roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and honey. The final product boasts a unique character and 100% natural color, with cask origins clearly specified on the label for transparency. As part of the new Cask Collection from West Cork Distillers, this whiskey highlights their creativity and passion for producing exceptional spirits.
