Delight in the maritime essence of West Cork with the unique West Cork Maritime Release Single Malt Rum Cask Irish Whiskey. This blend is a tribute to the founders' history as trawlermen off the West Cork coast and represents a seamless integration of expertise, tradition, and innovative craftsmanship.
Housed in a bespoke custom-blown spherical bottle with an off-centre spout, it's a nod to old glass fishing-floats, ensuring a smooth pour that's as delightful as the whiskey within. On the nose, you'll find a warm and inviting mix of honey, vanilla, caramel and chocolate, accompanied by a subtle blend of fresh and dried fruits. The palate introduces you to deep roasted flavours, with a hint of coffee, toast and chocolate. The journey concludes with a pleasantly dry finish, leaving you eager for the next sip.
