Lambay Single Malt Irish Whiskey – Cognac Cask Finish 70cl
Brand: Lambay Whiskey | Category: Irish Single Malt | ABV: 43% | Volume: 700ml | Origin: Lambay Island, Ireland

Intro/Heritage:
Born where the Irish Sea kisses the wild coast of Lambay Island, this single malt tells a tale of two worlds. A collaboration between Ireland’s revered Baring family and France’s Cognac experts, Camus, Lambay Single Malt is more than just whiskey—it’s a windswept island in a glass. Imagine tasting salt-laced air, ripe orchard fruits, and French refinement, all mingling in one daring sip.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Opens like a sea breeze through an apple orchard—fresh green fruits, floral honey, and soft maritime notes drift gently upward.
Palate: Smooth and layered—think poached pear drizzled with vanilla cream, followed by gentle spices and toasted oak. There's a softness here, but with an undercurrent of briny complexity.
Finish: Elegant and long, fading into a whisper of sweet almond, dry spice, and a subtle coastal salinity.

Production Details:
Triple distilled on the mainland, but matured in ex-bourbon casks before its final transformation on Lambay Island. There, in sea-facing warehouses, it’s finished in French oak Cognac casks from Maison Camus. The island’s microclimate and proximity to the sea infuse the whiskey with a unique salinity and maritime character—this is terroir-driven maturation at its finest.

Perfect For:
Picture a windswept terrace by the sea at dusk—this is your companion. Ideal for quiet reflections, post-dinner pours, or sharing with friends who don’t yet know that Irish whiskey can be this nuanced.

Expert Notes:
A standout in the world of Irish single malts. Lambay has been praised for its delicate balance between Irish sweetness and French complexity. The Cognac finish adds a silky elegance that has earned critical acclaim from Whisky Advocate and gold medals in global spirit competitions.

Interesting Fact:
Lambay Island is actually home to a private colony of wallabies—yes, wallabies in Ireland! The Baring family brought them there, just as they brought this exceptional whiskey to life.

Serving Suggestions:
Try it neat in a tulip glass to appreciate the layered nose, or add just a drop of water to let the fruitiness bloom. For an elevated experience, pair with a slice of brie or a dried fig.
