The Whiskey

West Cork

Maritime Rum Cask

A softer edge. Still grounded.

Rum casks add sweetness. But not the loud kind. It stays controlled. Balanced by the air, the salt, the time. Nothing tipping over.

Serving Suggestions

How to pour it

Neat

Best enjoyed in a clean tulip glass to reveal the full character of the whiskey.

With Water

A few drops of still spring water open the nose and bring the fruit forward.

On Ice

A single large cube in a rocks glass. Slow dilution through the evening.

Cocktail

Versatile in classic cocktails — try an Old Fashioned or a Whiskey Sour.
