West Cork IPA Cask-Finished

With Ireland’s proud heritage of brewing no wonder distillers are experimenting: The barrels used here come courtesy of Blacks of Kinsale. The nose is subtle and delivers a fresh spiciness with warm bread on a bakery shelf stacked American oak staves and a characteristic green hoppiness. Honey sweetness citrus peel lime zest cereal pepper and ginger then some late dark berry notes and fig before peppery spices thunder through the finish. (9400 bottles)
