Is a spirit born through a local independent collaboration of like-mindedness. By ageing our whiskey in beer casks we share depth and complexity with independent breweries. Our Imperial Stout Cask Finish hails from Whitewater Brewery in County Down, sitting in the shadow of the Mourne Mountains. It's not news to those in the whiskey business that beer and whiskey are a natural fit and the boilermaker is a classic bar order. Our Craft & Casks takes that trend one step further.

Aged for over 4 years in First Fill American Bourbon Casks then finished for 11 months in casks that previously held Imperial Stout from Whitewater Brewery.

NOSE

The aroma of dark chocolate, honey and charred oak is immediately apparent, along with a hint of citrus orange and vanilla. The hop character of the beer cask is also
prevalent, with some floral and herbal notes
that complement the coffee. There are also
notes of cereal grains and fruity sweetness.

PALATE

The whiskey has a rich, velvety texture that coats the mouth with flavours of roasted malt, espresso, and caramel. The stout influence provides notes of dark chocolate and liquorice adding a bittersweet complexity to the whiskey. There's a subtle fruitiness that emerges, with hints of dried
apricot.

FINISH

The finish is long and satisfying with the chocolate and coffee notes lingering alongside a subtle cracked black pepper spiciness. The oak notes become more prominent here, with a hint of vanilla and some tannic dryness. The hop bitterness also lingers, adding a pleasant
and refreshing aftertaste.
