West Cork Blended Irish Whisky Bourbon Cask 70 cl

Product Information

There are lots of hidden charges, and lots of red tape, because you’re dealing with alcohol and it’s a highly controlled substance," he said. "You do have to proceed with caution if you want to invest for a financial return." Nose: Fairly indistinguishable from a bourbon, with major caramel, honey, and vanilla. I get just the barest hint of a grainy pie crust note, too, as well as some oak.

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Dublin’s historic distilling district, Teeling opened in 2015 and is part of the area’s vibrant whiskey revival.I’ve no doubt that we’ve unintentionally left out some top Irish whiskey brands from the guide above. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Nose: This one is definitely different. Strong green apple, pear, and grape notes open the nose, followed by honey. It’s very bright and fruity, almost tart. After a few minutes in the glass, I even get a whiff of lemon curd.

I had heard from many that Writer’s Tears was ‘one you get used to with time’, but I found their single pot to be very drinkable, despite not being too-fond of whiskeys with long finishes. Finally, we’re left with West Cork’s single malt. This one, like the others, is also aged in bourbon casks, and it’s the only one of the bunch with an age statement.First introduced in 1791 by John Power & Son, it was originally a single pot still whiskey but eventually evolved into a blend of pot still and grain whiskeys.

There was a time when this single pot still Irish whiskey was only available from Dublin grocer Mitchell’s.Expect a good body with notes of sherried peels, honey, grains and vanilla cream with a caramel and a toffee finish. Housed in a beautiful green bottle, Connemara was inspired by the 18th-century art of drying malting barley over peat fires. It is now the only Irish Peated Single Malt Whiskey widely available.

It is great to release this seven-year-old single malt which was distilled at the Market Street Distillery and embodies the distillate signature of this unique distillery. This whiskey is triple distilled with the third distillation taking place in the small copper pot stills, stoically named CPS1/2. The slow distillation in such small stills ensures a large copper to distillate surface area ratio which conveys smoothness and really delicate character to the whiskey which we are particularly pleased with.”
