West Cork created a series of three cask finished Single Malts. The range of West Cork 12-Year Old Single Malt is prepared using 100% Irish malted barley and cut with spring water from the nearby Ilen River. It is non-chill filtered and contains no added caramel. The whiskeys are aged in first-fill straight Kentucky bourbon casks for 12 years and then finished 6-12 months in Sherry, Rum or Port casks.
The Port Cask bottling stood out to us with its sweet, rich flavors, the subtle touch of red fruits, and its refinement. The Distillery was founded in 2003 and while very young, has been producing whiskies that belie their overall age as a distillery. If we said they had been operating for 100 years, nobody would bat an eye.
