Clonakilty Port Cask Finish

The Douro Connection: A Warm, Fruit-Forward Fusion of Cork and Portugal

For this exceptional blended Irish whiskey, Clonakilty looked to the sun-drenched Douro Valley for inspiration. Part of their innovative Cask Finish series, this expression is finished in premium Port casks, which "transforms" the spirit into a "bold statement" of rich color and deep complexity. This is a whiskey that perfectly captures the "ripe red fruit" and "spicy heat" that only the finest fortified wine wood can provide.

Matured by the Atlantic at the distillery’s coastal warehouse, the "salty sea air" works in harmony with the sweet Portuguese oak. The result is a "spectacular" and "spectacularly balanced" whiskey, making it a "perfect postprandial dram" for those seeking a "luscious" and warming end to an evening.

The Port Cask Influence: Depth & Spice

Clonakilty Port Cask is "engineered" for the lover of bold, fruit-driven spirits, combining Irish grain and malt with European flair:

Portuguese Port Casks: The finishing period in Douro Valley casks imparts a "vibrant" ruby hue and "expressive notes" of "sultana and stone fruit."

Ocean-Side Maturation: Being "built for the coast," the Atlantic climate accelerates the interaction between the "oily and unctuous" spirit and the wine-soaked wood.

Complex Blend: This release utilizes a blend of grain and malt whiskies, ensuring a "smooth and cohesive" foundation that carries the "chilli heat" and "chocolate" notes beautifully.

Low-Maintenance Luxury: Non-chill filtered and bottled with its "natural color," it offers a "pristine appearance" and authentic mouthfeel that "stands the test of time."
