West Cork IPA Cask Irish Whiskey

With Irelands proud heritage of brewing, no wonder distillers are experimenting: The barrels used here come courtesy of Blacks of Kinsale. The nose is subtle and delivers a fresh spiciness, with warm bread on a bakery shelf, stacked American oak staves, and a characteristic green hoppiness. Honey sweetness, citrus peel, lime zest, cereal, pepper, and ginger, then some late dark berry notes and fig before peppery spices thunder through the finish. (9,400 bottles)
