Get to know: West Cork Bourbon Cask Irish Whiskey
Tasting Note
A smooth and approachable Irish whiskey, West Cork Bourbon Cask is a classic blend of 75% grain and 25% malt whiskey, triple distilled for a refined character. Matured in first-fill bourbon casks, it offers a well-balanced profile with gentle spice and sweetness.
It opens with a delicate nose of light malt, citrus zest, and a hint of cracked pepper. On the palate, it is smooth and creamy, offering notes of crisp apple, vanilla, and nutmeg, which develop into soft caramel and gentle toasty oak. The finish is medium in length, warming with lingering fruit and subtle spice, making it an easy-drinking yet characterful whiskey.
