Limited stock: 2 left
West Cork Distillers has once again pushed the boundaries of Irish whiskey-making with their innovative IPA Cask Matured Blended Irish Whiskey. This blend of 75% grain and 25% malt whiskey is first aged in first-fill bourbon casks before receiving a unique finish in casks that previously held Black’s of Kinsale IPA. The result is a whiskey with an intriguing twist—rich in the traditional smoothness of Irish whiskey, yet with a hoppy complexity that pays homage to craft beer culture. With its delicate blend of malt and grain, this whiskey brings together the best of both worlds: classic whiskey character and IPA influence.

Sensory Description:
On the nose, West Cork IPA Cask Matured delivers a distinctive, mildly hoppy aroma, softened by sweet undertones of honey and malt. Hints of chocolate and a subtle blend of spices add complexity, leading into the palate where roasted nuts, brown butter, and malt take center stage. The IPA influence lingers with notes of baking spices, nougat, and a whisper of chocolate sauce. The finish is long and layered, with the roasted nuts and malt sweetness balanced by the gentle bitterness of the hops, leaving a rich and warming aftertaste.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy West Cork IPA Cask Matured Blended Irish Whiskey neat to appreciate its complex interplay of malt and hops. For a more refreshing take, try it over ice, where the cold smooths out the hoppy notes and highlights the sweet undertones. This whiskey also pairs beautifully with craft beer in whiskey-beer boilermaker combinations, or enjoy it alongside roasted nuts or a charcuterie board to complement its rich, nutty profile.
