The West Cork Irish Whiskey Rum Cask Finished 43% vol. 0.7 l is a distinctive bottling from the independent West Cork Distillers, who are renowned for their artisanal production and their regionally rooted whiskey tradition. The distillery uses predominantly 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 casks before receiving an additional finish in Caribbean rum casks. This cask finish lends the bottling a delicate sweetness, tropical nuances and a harmoniously integrated spiciness, which blends elegantly with the smooth character of the Irish whisky.


At 43%, the Rum Cask Finished is more robust than many standard bottlings and offers a balanced combination of a malty base, light fruitiness and the warm, sweet accents of the rum cask. The careful selection of casks results in a whiskey with complex aromas that nevertheless remains approachable and clearly bears the distillery’s signature. The elegant gift box emphasises the high-quality nature of the bottling and makes it an attractive choice for connoisseurs who appreciate Irish whisky with an exotic cask finish. The overall impression is harmonious, rounded and long-lasting.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm gold.

Nose: Malt, vanilla, light tropical fruit and a gentle sweetness from the rum cask.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, with vanilla, honey, delicate fruity notes, a hint of spice and a subtle rum character.

Finish: Smooth, rounded and pleasantly long-lasting.

This whisky pairs superbly with desserts such as banoffee pie, vanilla custard, rum cake or caramel biscuits, as its sweet, fruity notes complement these flavours perfectly. Mild cheeses or baked desserts such as apple crumble are also ideal accompaniments. Served neat or with a splash of water, its balanced structure comes through particularly clearly. It is also well suited to cocktails such as the Whisky Sour, Old Fashioned or Irish-Caribbean variations, in which the rum cask finish lends a warm, long-lasting depth.
