This series highlights the impact of different wood types on the final flavor profile, offering a diverse range of expressions. Each release in the series will feature a unique cask finish, such as port, Bordeaux red wine, or virgin oak, adding layers of complexity and character to the base blend.

• Tasting Notes (General Expectation - Varies by Cask Finish): The base character of soft spices, vanilla, and fruit notes from the blend will be present, but the finishing cask will impart distinct characteristics:

  • Port Cask Finish: Expect added notes of red berries, plum, and a touch of sweetness.
  • Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish: May contribute flavors of dark fruit, subtle tannins, and a hint of spice.
  • Virgin Oak Finish: Often adds notes of vanilla, caramel, and a more pronounced oak influence with potential hints of spice.

• Summary: The Clonakilty Blended Irish Whiskey Cask Finish Series is an exploration of flavor, demonstrating how different cask types can enhance and transform their already well-regarded blended Irish whiskey. Each release offers a unique tasting experience, making this series appealing to those who enjoy discovering the nuances that cask finishing can bring to Irish whiskey.
