Portrait: What makes the West Cork Maritime Release - Calvados Cask special.
West Cork Maritime Release - Calvados Cask is a homage to Ireland's coasts, the origins of the founders - and to the passion for honest, handcrafted whiskey. Founded in 2003 by Denis McCarthy, Ger McCarthy, and John O'Connell, West Cork Distillers was born from a blend of idealism, family knowledge, and boldness at a time when whiskey distilling was barely viable in Ireland. Today, it is the country's largest wholly Irish-owned distillery, based in Skibbereen, deep in the south of the Emerald Isle.
The Maritime Range nods to the McCarthys' seafaring roots: The bottles are modeled after hand-blown floating spheres, once used on fishing boats. New to the series: the limited-edition West Cork Calvados Cask Finish.
This triple-distilled single malt was first aged in a classic manner and then given an elegant finish in French oak, topped with apple brandy from the House of Garnier. At 46% vol. drinking strength, the whiskey unfolds fruity depth and a finely balanced character. A maritime rarity for anyone who wants to rediscover Irish whiskey - with a touch of French apple charm.
Tasting Notes: This is how the West Cork Maritime Release - Calvados Cask tastes like
- Nose: Fresh and fruity with clear aromas of green apples and ripe pears, accompanied by a hint of almonds and a gentle touch of French oak
- Palate: On the palate, the whiskey is soft and balanced - dried fruits, creamy vanilla, and subtle almond notes harmonize elegantly with the fruity sweetness of the Calvados finish - the texture remains mild and approachable
- Finish: Medium to long with a pleasant aftertaste of fruit, nutty tones, and a hint of oak spice - round and elegant to the end
