The West Cork 5 Years Old Bourbon Cask Irish Whiskey 40% vol. 0.7 l is a pure and authentic expression from the independent West Cork Distillers, who are renowned for their artisanal approach and their focus on regional ingredients. Made from Irish barley and triple-distilled in small batches, this whisky showcases Ireland’s classic, smooth style in a particularly approachable form. Maturation entirely in selected first-fill bourbon casks plays a decisive role in shaping its character, imparting a natural sweetness, gentle vanilla notes and a delicately integrated spiciness typical of high-quality American oak.

At five years old, this bottling is surprisingly harmonious and aromatically balanced. The influence of the bourbon casks provides a clear structure with warm woody nuances, light caramel and fresh malt, whilst the distillery’s traditional distillation style emphasises the soft, rounded texture. The elegant gift box emphasises the whisky’s premium positioning and makes it an attractive choice for lovers of mild yet aromatically clean Irish whiskies. The overall impression is pleasantly balanced, clearly defined and long-lasting.

Tasting Note

Colour: Pale gold.

Nose: Vanilla, malt, a hint of sweetness and subtle fruity notes.

Palate: Smooth and round, with bourbon vanilla, caramel, malt and gentle woody nuances.

Finish: Mild, harmonious and pleasantly long-lasting.

This Irish whisky pairs superbly with mild desserts such as custard, apple tart or shortbread, whose subtle sweetness is complemented particularly well by its bourbon cask notes. Light chocolate, shortbread or mild cheeses also harmonise excellently with its smooth profile. Drunk neat or with a small splash of water, its balanced structure comes through particularly clearly. It is also ideal for classic whisky cocktails such as the Whisky Sour, Irish Mule or Old Fashioned, to which it lends a gentle, long-lasting bourbon note.
