West Cork – Black Cask
West Cork – Black Cask (Char #5 Level)
Blended Irish Whiskey | 40% | 700 ml
Double Charred Bourbon Cask Finish
The West Cork Black Cask is a powerful interpretation of Irish whiskey, finished in double charred bourbon barrels — casks that have been charred to an extremely high degree ( Char #5 level ).
This creates a deep, toasted wood influence and a surprisingly intense profile, without losing the typical Irish smoothness.
A whisky that offers a surprising amount of character in this price range.
