About this deal

Buyers should also be particularly careful with newer distilleries that haven’t yet had any of their own whiskey come off the bottling line - as the actual quality of their end-product is still unknown. Its cask-selling programme is now going into its third year - and James says it has attracted a variety of buyers, from whiskey hobbyists to those hoping to eventually make a profit on their investment. A smooth and balanced sip is on offer here with notes of citrus, nutmeg, apple and malt. There are plenty of reasons for seeking out a bottle of West Cork. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Based in Kilbeggan in County Westmeath, their double-distilled blended whiskey features a good body with honeyed sweetness and malt while the finish is short with oaked dryness.

Finally, we’re left with West Cork’s single malt. This one, like the others, is also aged in bourbon casks, and it’s the only one of the bunch with an age statement. We’ve reviewed quite a few Irish whiskey bottlings from West Cork Distillers, but this 8 year old single malt may be its best release yet. Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age.Arguably one of the best Irish single malt whiskey on the market, Green Spot is a tipple that’ll suit those with a more experienced palate.

West Cork Irish Whiskey – Bourbon cask (40% abv/80 proof) – is a blended Irish whiskey containing 75% grain Irish whiskey & 25% malt Irish whiskey. Patiently matured in first fill bourbon casks to deliver a smooth, subtle and quintessential Irish whiskey.” Double distilled, this is one of a handful of Irish whiskey brands that manages to deliver both a complex and approachable flavour profile, which is no mean feat! With water sourced from the River Bush and named after the mills that made the Barley, Bushmills is an Irish whiskey icon.This one is decent, but as I noted, quite subtle for a barrel-strength offering. It’s straightforward and approachable when cut down with water, if not overly complex. A perfectly good opening to the batch. Tasting Notes: West Cork Bourbon Cask One of the unique things about this lesser-spotted drop is that each bottle is individually numbered and signed by the Master Distiller, and sold in an accompanying wooden display case.

The best Irish whiskey for: Those with an experience palate looking for a very non-Irish-tasting Irish whiskey No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. I greatly disliked the original Connemara Peated Whiskey the first time I tried it. On the second occasion, about two years later, I still disliked it… greatly. Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Dublin’s historic distilling district, Teeling opened in 2015 and is part of the area’s vibrant whiskey revival. Cask investments have been a feature of the scottish whisky market for some time but an increasing number of Irish distilleries are beginning to offer them too.More recently, West Cork was behind the Pogues whiskey, “the official Irish whiskey of the legendary band,” which we reviewed earlier this fall. They’re reportedly one of only two independent distilleries in Ireland, and malt their own (Irish-grown) barley.

The best Irish whiskey for: Those with some experience with Irish whiskey and who fancy a drop with plenty of history behind it Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. People should also realise that the price being secured by Irish whiskey today is not necessarily the same they will get when it comes time to sell their own.

Consider this similar product...

With a nose of rich toffee, honey, spiced fruit notes and dark mocha, followed by a long finish, this whiskey is best-suited to those with more experience palates. A good Irish whiskey for: Those looking for a tasty whiskey at a mid-range price point (its impressive bottle makes it a good gift) I’d argue that our next whiskey is one of the most overlooked Irish whiskey brands on the market (and one of the best value price wise!). Paddy is a recent addition to our guide – this 12th position was been previously held by Yellowspot for several years. West Cork Bourbon Cask Irish Whiskey hails from the massively interesting West Cork distillery. A young distillery that got its start almost 14 years ago and has been slowly putting out more and more impressive releases. They’re a home-grown operation that brings something a bit new to the Irish whiskey game… transparency.
