West Cork Sherry Cask Finished Irish Whiskey is a smooth and complex single malt, aged in bourbon casks and finished in sherry casks for a deeper, fruitier character. This sherry cask finish imparts rich dried fruit, spice, and nutty flavours, which balance beautifully with the natural smoothness of the Irish whiskey. Bottled at 43% ABV, it offers a wonderful blend of sweet sherry richness and soft oak, making it a perfect dram for those who enjoy a little extra complexity in their whiskey.
Nose: Rich aromas of dried fruit (raisins, sultanas), dark chocolate, cinnamon, and oak, with hints of orange zest and honey.
Palate: Smooth and rounded, with flavours of toffee, stewed fruit, vanilla, and baking spices, complemented by a touch of toasted oak.
Finish: Medium to long, with lingering notes of spicy oak, dried fruit, and dark chocolate, and a gentle sweetness.
The sherried sweetness, spiced oak, and rich fruit notes of West Cork Sherry Cask Finished whiskey pair best with a medium-to-full-bodied cigar that complements its complexity and depth.
