Cork, located on the southern coast of Ireland, is home to the picturesque town of Skibbereen, which is crossed by the River Ilen. This region is known for its scenic beauty and cultural significance, particularly in the tradition of whiskey production. In 2007, three friends founded the West Cork Distillery in Skibbereen. This small, independent distillery is characterised by the production of high-quality whiskeys that are made with great care and craftsmanship.

From the very beginning, the founders focussed on quality and tradition, combined with an innovative approach. The West Cork Distillery uses crystal clear spring water and carefully selected grain. This commitment reflects the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship that characterises the Irish whiskey industry.

The whiskey's journey began in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, where it matured for four years before undergoing its true transformation when it spent the last six months of its maturation in exquisite rum casks from Panama. As it was triple distilled, the West Cork Small Batch Rum Finish Very Rare Expression impressively demonstrates how masterful Irish distilling can be.

As it is bottled without colouring and without chill-filtering, this single malt reveals its unadulterated character, which impresses with both its purity and its special maturation and captivates whisky connoisseurs and beginners alike.
