As Denis McCarthy, Ger McCarthy and John O 'Connell founded West Cork in 2003, opening a distillery made little economic sense. Equipped with the distilling knowledge of their families, the food developer and the two fishermen got started anyway. Today, West Cork is home to Skibbereen - as the largest, wholly Irish-owned distillery in the country.

A new special edition bridges the gap to the former profession two founders. The "Maritime Release"comprises four fillings in bottles that were mouth-blown in the style of floating balls for West Cork. These hollow glass spheres once gave fishing nets buoyancy. The pouring spout on the side enables smoother pouring.

With ideal drinking strength, the Irish quartet unfolds varied aromas from different finishes.
