Detailed DescriptionAnother Irish whiskey from The Pogues (yes, the band) and West Cork Distillers. The band’s first foray into the world of whiskey was a brilliant Irish blend, and now we have a single malt, aged in bourbon oak casks before it was bottled up at 40% ABV. Now we’re going to have Fairytale of New York stuck in our heads for the rest of the day.The Pogues Single Malt Irish Whiskey | 700ML Tasting NotesNose: Fairly floral, with lavendar, sesame snaps, caramelised nuts and salted chocolate.Palate: Dry oak spice and chai spices, with peanut butter, s’mores and floral malt.Finish: A gentle finish of lingering caramel alongside cinnamon stick.Distillery InformationFounded in 2003 by three close friends Denis McCarthy, Ger McCarthy & John O’Connell in Union Hall, West Cork, Ireland; West Cork Distillers was inspired by the proud history of artisan food & beverage production in Cork. The trio had some experience of this in their previous occupations, as Ger & Denis were deep sea trawlermen and John was a research & development scientist for some large blue chip food & beverage companies.
