West Cork describes aromas of vanilla and orchard fruit with light honey and grain sweetness. Malt sweetness comes first in the mouth, followed by gentle spice and a clean, balanced finish.
West Cork Distillers formed in 2003 and first distilled in a founder’s house, moving to its current Marsh Road site in 2020. The company now runs sixteen pot stills and three column stills.
A sound choice for anyone wanting an everyday Irish whiskey with an age statement on the label, whether for sipping or mixing.
