Method & Madness Single Grain Virgin Spanish Oak Irish Whiskey is produced by the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. It is made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. This whiskey undergoes maturation in ex-bourbon barrels and is finished for 12 months in virgin Spanish oak casks from Galicia, Spain. The whiskey is bottled at 90 proof and is non-chill filtered.
The virgin oak — as it tends to do — does a real number of the delicate grain whiskey, impregnating it with an overwhelming lumberyard character (“pencil shavings” don’t quite cut it), with hints of coal dust and walnut shells.
