The West Cork Irish Whiskey VIRGIN OAK CASK FINISHED 43% vol. 0.7 l is a characterful Irish single malt whiskey that impresses with its unique cask maturation and traditional production methods. It is produced by West Cork Distillers in County Cork, in the south-west of Ireland – a distillery founded in 2003 that is renowned for its innovative cask maturation techniques and artisanal whisky production. As part of the West Cork Small Batch series, this single malt is initially matured in first-fill bourbon casks before undergoing a final finish in new, unused oak casks from the Kelvin Cooperage. This virgin oak finishing lends the whisky additional depth and a pronounced oak character. Bottled at 43% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, it is non-chill-filtered and contains no added colouring. The matching gift box adds a stylish finishing touch to the bottling.


West Cork Distillers combine Irish whisky tradition with modern maturation concepts and place particular emphasis on the selection of their casks. The West Cork Virgin Oak Cask Finished is characterised by a combination of maturation in American bourbon casks and a finish in fresh oak. The casks from the renowned Kelvin Cooperage allow for intensive contact between the whisky and new oak, which brings out the influence of the oak particularly clearly. By avoiding chill filtration and artificial colourings, the natural characteristics of the distillate are preserved. With its exceptional combination of casks and decorative gift packaging, this single malt Irish whisky with a virgin oak finish is ideal for lovers of Irish whiskies as well as a gift for special occasions.
