West Cork Black Cask Blended Irish Whiskey 70cl

West Cork Black Cask | Double Charred Blended Irish Whiskey

A Bold and Balanced Expression Matured in First-Fill and Heavily Charred Bourbon Casks

West Cork Black Cask is a standout blended Irish whiskey from the independent West Cork Distillers in Skibbereen. This expression is a testament to the distillery's expertise in wood management, utilising a specific double-cask maturation process to achieve a deep, smoky sweetness.

The whiskey is first aged in first-fill bourbon casks for three years, establishing a traditional foundation of smooth grain and malt character. It is then finished for a further year in heavily charred bourbon casks. This intensive contact with the "alligator char" of the wood imparts a rich, dark colour and a concentrated flavour profile that sets it apart from standard Irish blends.
