Description
The West Cork Single Malt Irish Whiskey PORT CASK FINISHED 43% Vol. 0.7 l is an Irish single malt whiskey full of character, which is given a distinctive fruity yet balanced style thanks to its special port cask finish. This Irish whiskey is produced by the independent West Cork Distillery, which is known for its artisanal production and focus on quality. The combination of traditional production and innovative cask finishing makes this single malt from Ireland an exciting bottling within the modern Irish whiskey category.
The whiskey is initially matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, allowing it to develop its typical vanilla and caramel flavours. It is then finished in Quinta da Boeira port casks, which give it additional depth and a fruity sweetness. This two-stage maturation ensures a harmonious combination of bourbon barrel character and port wine barrel flavours. With an alcohol content of 43%, the West Cork Port Cask Finished Single Malt is balanced and accessible, yet at the same time aromatically complex.

The West Cork Single Malt Irish Whiskey Port Cask Finished is ideal for pure enjoyment, ideally at room temperature or with a small drop of water, which allows the fruity and spicy flavours to develop optimally.

This port cask whiskey also goes very well with mature cheese, dried fruit or mild meat dishes. It can also be used in whiskey cocktails, where its fruity sweetness and soft vanilla notes really come into their own.
