Intro/Heritage:
Crafted on Ireland’s rugged southwest coast, West Cork Blended Irish Whiskey is a modern classic, approachable, polished, and finished with care. This bourbon cask expression brings together malt and grain whiskeys for a blend that’s light on its feet but rich in flavor. It’s an everyday dram with small-batch soul, made by three childhood friends who left corporate life to do whiskey right.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Clean and inviting. Vanilla cream, green apple, toasted oak, and soft honey rise with a whisper of citrus and grain.
Palate: Smooth and light-bodied. Notes of caramel, malted cereal, and subtle spice glide over a crisp texture with gentle sweetness.
Finish: Short to medium. Hints of vanilla, dried grass, and white pepper taper into a refreshingly dry finish.

Production Details:
Blended from 75% grain and 25% malt whiskey, all non-chill filtered and matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks. Bottled at 40% ABV for an easy-drinking profile that doesn’t compromise on flavor or texture.
