Description
The West Cork Irish Whiskey Rum Cask Finished 43% Vol. 0.7 l is a bottling full of character from the independent West Cork Distillers, who are known for their handcrafted production and their regionally rooted whiskey tradition. The distillery mainly uses Irish barley and distils in smaller batches, resulting in a particularly clear and smooth whiskey. For this edition, the whiskey is first matured in classic bourbon barrels before being given an additional finish in Caribbean rum barrels. This cask finish gives the bottling a fine sweetness, tropical nuances and a harmoniously integrated spiciness, which elegantly combines with the soft character of the Irish whiskey.
At 43%, the Rum Cask Finished is stronger than many standard bottlings and displays a balanced combination of a malty base, light fruitiness and the warm, sweet accents of the rum wood. The careful selection of barrels results in an aromatically complex whiskey that nevertheless remains accessible and clearly reveals the distillery's signature. The elegant gift box underlines the high-quality standard of the bottling and makes it an attractive choice for connoisseurs who appreciate Irish whiskey with an exotic cask finish. The overall impression is harmonious, round and long-lasting. (automated translation)

This whiskey harmonizes perfectly with desserts such as banoffee pie, vanilla cream, rum cake or caramel cookies, as its sweet and fruity accents absorb these flavours perfectly. Mild cheese varieties or baked desserts such as apple crumble also go perfectly with it. Its balanced structure is particularly clear on its own or with a small splash of water. It is also well suited to cocktails such as Whiskey Sour, Old Fashioned or Irish-Caribbean variations, in which the rum cask finish lends a warm, long-lasting depth. (automated translation)
