West Cork Maritime Release Rum Cask Finnish

rigin: West Cork, Ireland
ABV: 43%
Style: Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey, Rum Cask Finish

Tasting Note:
A unique and vibrant expression from West Cork, this limited Maritime Release showcases the art of cask finishing with a tropical twist. Aged in first-fill bourbon barrels before being finished in Caribbean rum casks, the result is a whiskey that’s smooth, characterful, and subtly exotic. On the nose, expect aromas of golden syrup, ripe banana, toasted coconut, and light oak. The palate is soft and rounded, offering flavours of vanilla fudge, tropical fruit, gentle spice, and a kiss of molasses from the rum cask. The finish is medium-long, with lingering notes of caramelised sugar and a warm, fruity lift.

Perfect For: Fans of Irish whiskey looking for something a little different. Easy-drinking yet full of personality—great neat, over ice, or in a refined whiskey sour.

Richard’s Tip: This is a conversation-starter dram. Serve it at your next dinner party or pair it with grilled pineapple or sticky toffee pudding for a perfect flavour match.
