Drumshanbo Marsala Cask Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is an innovative expression that showcases the mastery of The Shed Distillery's distilling techniques combined with creative cask aging. This release highlights the distillery's commitment to exploring new flavour territories while maintaining the integrity of traditional Irish whiskey-making.
This whiskey is distilled using a blend of malted Irish barley and un-malted barley, triple-distilled in traditional copper pot stills—a defining characteristic of Single Pot Still whiskey. The subsequent aging in Marsala wine casks infuses the spirit with distinctive notes of dried fruits and sweet wine, enhancing its natural complexity.
The Shed Distillery, established in 2014 by PJ Rigney, is a beacon of innovation in the Irish whiskey sector. Located in Drumshanbo, it has garnered attention not just for its quality spirits but for its dedication to craft and innovation, making it one of the top Irish whiskey brands.
