Product description
West Cork Distillers Co. was founded in 2003 by John O'Connell and Dennis and Ger McCarthy.
After ten years, the distillery was moved to Skibbereen, where it operates to this day, distilling malt and grain whiskey. Blends are also made on site. The company's latest offering (November 2019) is the "Cask Finish Collection", which consists of five whiskeys. All of them, triple-distilled, spent their basic maturation period in first-fill bourbon casks, and finished in sherry, port, rum, calvados and virgin casks. The edition presented here spent the last few months in Quinta de Boeira port casks.
Aroma: fresh, fruity, red grapes, raspberries, cherries, toffee, vanilla, black pepper, nutmeg, notes of hay and oak.
Taste : sweet, mixed berry jam, grapefruit, milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, a touch of pepper and ginger.
Finish: medium long, with notes of red berries, vanilla, honey, milk chocolate, pepper and oak.
