Copeland Distillery Merchant's Quay Banyuls & PX Cask Green Label Irish Whiskey 40% vol. 0.7l

The Copeland Distillery Merchant’s Quay Banyuls & PX Cask Green Label Irish Whiskey is a characterful bottling from Northern Ireland that combines an accessible Irish whiskey style with an interesting selection of casks. Behind the brand is the Copeland Distillery in Donaghadee, County Down, which combines traditional Irish whiskey culture with modern approaches to cask maturation. The Merchant’s Quay Green Label focuses in particular on Banyuls and Pedro Ximénez casks. Banyuls is a sweet wine from the south of France, whilst Pedro Ximénez – or PX for short – is a particularly concentrated, sweet style of sherry. The use of these two cask types lends the whisky an additional fruity and sweet-spicy dimension, setting it apart from classically matured Irish whiskies.


Merchant’s Quay Banyuls & PX Cask Irish Whiskey is bottled at 40% in a 0.7-litre bottle. Its style is characterised by a smooth, harmonious structure, combining fruitiness, sweetness and subtle spice. The selection of Banyuls and PX sherry casks is the key distinguishing feature of this Green Label bottling. The Copeland Distillery focuses on small batches and varied cask concepts across its range, producing other spirits alongside whisky. Thanks to its approachable character, Merchant’s Quay Green Label Irish Whiskey is ideal both for lovers of classic Irish whiskies and for connoisseurs wishing to discover an Irish whiskey with influences from sweet wine and sherry casks.

The Copeland Merchant’s Quay Banyuls & PX Cask Green Label is ideal both for enjoying neat at room temperature and for simple whisky-based drinks. Culinary pairings include mature cheeses, dried fruit, roasted nuts and desserts featuring caramel or dark chocolate, which complement its sweet, fruity character. A classic Irish whisky Old Fashioned is also a good choice if you wish to keep the influence of the cask maturation at the forefront. Thanks to its smooth style, this whisky is also ideal for social evenings and as an introduction to Irish whiskies with alternative cask maturations.
