West Cork 12 Years Old Rum Cask 750ml

West Cork 12 Year Old Rum Cask is a distinguished single malt Irish whiskey from West Cork Distillers, a company founded in 2003 by childhood friends John O'Connell, Denis McCarthy, and Ger McCarthy in Union Hall, County Cork.  This expression matures for 12 years in first-fill bourbon barrels before a finishing period of approximately 110 days in rum casks, imparting unique characteristics to the whiskey.  On the nose, it offers notes of pecans, pineapple, and a warming hint of cinnamon.  The palate reveals flavors of tropical fruits, caramel, and a touch of spice, leading to a rich and complex taste experience.  Bottled at 43% ABV in a 750ml format, this whiskey reflects the innovative spirit of West Cork Distillers, who have grown from humble beginnings to become one of Ireland's largest wholly Irish-owned distilleries, now operating out of a 12.5-acre site in Skibbereen with a distillation capacity of 16.5 million liters of pure alcohol.  The bottle's presentation mirrors the brand's commitment to quality and tradition, making it a noteworthy choice for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive Irish whiskey experience.
