  • I would not have guessed this was finished in Port casks, but it is a well-integrated product that fans of Irish whiskey will want to try.

House Review
  • Nose:

    A touch of grain up front yields to red berries, pleasant malt, fresh honey and a touch of rising bread.

  • Taste:

    Pleasant and sweet on the palate this whiskey benefits from the port casks, which really do add here to the younger profile of the spirit. Honey, fresh bread, a touch of raspberry and currant, faint pepper and a hint of clove on the finish. A little hot for the proof, but nothing punishing.

  • Finish:

    Pleasant here again, the finish is probably the best part of the pour, tangling red berries with sweet cream and a touch of honey.

  • Overall:

    It’s cool to see the new expressions rolling out from Clonakilty, and there’s no mistaking they’re well on their way.
