West Cork Glengarriff Series Peat Charred Cask

In one of the year’s most intriguing experimental techniques Glengarriff treats new barrels with burning peat to imbue a fine veneer of smoke over the surface of the vessel’s virgin oak staves. A final finishing in these smoked barrels imparts the captivating pleasure of chocolate brownie campfire smoke and sweet cocoa aromas that yield to a pleasantly oily rounded whiskey with citrus Jolly Rancher hard candy chocolate cake spices and coffee notes with a finish of festive spices. Ambitious work fresh from the frontiers of flavor. Number 19 in the 2018 Top 20
