The 2010 Cognac Cask is a limited edition rare cask finished, cask strength (53.8% ABV) and non chill-filtered Irish single malt.
After maturing for over seven years in Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, Alex Thomas, our Master Blender, finished this outstanding whiskey in ancient cognac casks from the Charente region in France. Each Limousin oak cask has previously aged exceptional Cognac for at least fifteen years, imbuing the whiskey with a rich tableau of ripe fruit, candied figs and hints of almond. And where others might recask their whiskey for just six months or so, we’ve added deeper waves of flavour by maturing ours in these Cognac casks for a further five years.
The years have intensified the Cognac’s Ugni Blanc grape aromas, resulting in a single malt bursting with ripe pear and buttery honeycomb with layers of deeper cinnamon spice, leather and dried fruits. It’s a sensational whiskey that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right.
The result is a single malt that is warm and mellow, with notes of ginger, but also with fresher flavours of crisp green apple and lemon zest. It’s a sensational whiskey that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right.
