Experience the heart of Ireland with the West Cork Glengarriff Series Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Peat Cask. This unique spirit is a true gem in West Cork Distillers' portfolio, the largest wholly Irish-owned distillery famed for its commitment to traditional methods, innovation, and quality.
Meticulously aged for 5 years in former Bodega Sherry casks, this whiskey acquires a rich, full-bodied profile that serves as the base of its remarkable character. However, the real magic happens in the final 6 months of its journey. During this period, the whiskey is transferred to new American oak casks, which have been charred and smoked with peat from the local Glengarriff boglands. This distinct peat imbues the whiskey with an unparalleled smokiness, resulting in a taste and aroma that capture the rugged beauty of the Irish landscape.
When you pour this whiskey, an enticing amber hue greets your eye, a visual hint of the warmth within. The nose delivers a refreshing burst of citrus, followed by the comforting sweetness of honey, the warmth of spices, and the evocative scent of wood smoke. As you take your first sip, prepare to be mesmerised by a dance of flavours – creamy smoke intertwined with herbal notes, sweet fruits, and a hint of vanilla. The experience concludes with a finish that's long-lasting, leaving a trail of fruity and spicy notes.
This whiskey, triple distilled and non-chill filtered, is the product of an illustrious lineage of distillers within the McCarthy and O'Connell families. It tells a story of three childhood friends - John O’Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy - who turned their distilling dreams into reality against all odds, beginning with humble origins in a small room and culminating in a distillery that now stands proud on Marsh Road, Skibbereen, and distributes to almost 70 countries worldwide.
