Clonakilty Double Oak Finish

The Cask Pioneer: An Award-Winning Fusion of Irish Tradition and French Innovation

Experience the "first release" in the acclaimed Cask Finish series from the Clonakilty Distillery. This expression is a masterclass in wood management, initially matured in premium ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a unique "double oak" finishing process. It stands as a "bold statement" in the industry, reportedly being the "very first Irish whiskey" to be finished in NEOC (New Era of Cask) barrels—shaved, toasted, and re-charred ex-Bordeaux red wine-seasoned European oak.

Combined with finishing in virgin American oak, this whiskey offers a "stunning and functional" balance of crisp Irish grain and deep, spicy wood character. It is a "modern masterpiece" that has already garnered international acclaim, including being named World's Best Irish Blended Whiskey (World Whiskies Awards 2020), making it a "firm favourite" for those who appreciate "exceptional strength" and complexity.

The NEOC Innovation: A World-First Finish

Clonakilty Double Oak is "engineered" for depth, utilizing cutting-edge cask technology to "elevate your drinking experience":

Virgin American Oak: Imparts a "sweet vanilla" foundation and "creamy nuttiness" that complements the traditional Irish spirit.

NEOC French Oak: These "ex-Bordeaux red wine" casks are meticulously "shaved, toasted, and re-charred," a process that "transforms" the wood to release "warm, woody spices" and rich tannins.

Atlantic Coast Maturation: Matured in the distillery's warehouse on the edge of the Atlantic, the salt-misted air adds a "personalized oasis" of character that is unique to the Clonakilty coastline.

Vibrant & Natural: Bottled with its "vibrant color" intact, this whiskey is a "perfect choice" for those seeking an authentic, non-chill filtered Irish blend.

Official Tasting Notes

Indulge in a "luscious" profile that moves from "grassy sweetness" to a rich "cinnamon butter" finish:

Nose: A light and "inviting" opening of "grassy sweetness, apple blossom, and fresh orchard fruit." Look for a subtle "pinch of tobacco" and "gentle wood spice" at the back.
Palate: A "spicier palate" than the nose suggests. A "kick of ginger" leads the way, followed by a "rich and thick" texture of "creamy nuttiness and sweet vanilla."
Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion where "praline and cinnamon butter lingers" on the tongue.
