West Cork Blended Irish Whisky Bourbon Cask 70 cl

Product Information

The 8-Year Single Malt is a non-chill filtered whiskey distilled in hand-built copper pot stills from 100% local-grown Irish Barley and spring water sourced within 5km of the distillery. The whiskey is matured for eight years in first-fill, flame-charred American Bourbon barrels sourced from the Calvin Cooperage. The only reason I came around to it is thanks to a friend from the UK who buys a bottle every time he passes through Dublin Airport. It has become our ‘Sure, we’ll have a night cap’ drink and it has grown on me. Created in 1829 and later prospering under general manager Daniel E Williams (hence D.E.W. in the name), is the second largest selling brand of Irish whiskey globally. Housed in a beautiful green bottle, Connemara was inspired by the 18th-century art of drying malting barley over peat fires. It is now the only Irish Peated Single Malt Whiskey widely available.

While you can, if you’re so inclined, add a drop of ginger or cola to it, we’d recommend drinking it neat to truly understand its nuances. Situated inside the imposing former Guinness Power House in Dublin’s Liberties district, Roe & Co. is named after legendary 19th-century whiskey pioneer George Roe and only began distilling in 2017. Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. One of the unique things about this lesser-spotted drop is that each bottle is individually numbered and signed by the Master Distiller, and sold in an accompanying wooden display case. Part of Mitchell’s ‘spot’ range, it’s been on sale continuously since the early 1900s but now its reach is global and thus (thankfully for us!) far more widely available.

New Cork Sour

Double distilled, this is one of a handful of Irish whiskey brands that manages to deliver both a complex and approachable flavour profile, which is no mean feat!

This one is decent, but as I noted, quite subtle for a barrel-strength offering. It’s straightforward and approachable when cut down with water, if not overly complex. A perfectly good opening to the batch. Tasting Notes: West Cork Bourbon Cask Tullamore D.E.W is the smoothest Irish whiskey, in my opinion, and it’s always very well priced, which will suit those looking for a good Irish whiskey on a budget.
