Bernard Walsh, founder of The Irishman Brands, said “Having released previous expressions of Cask Strength in the past, we are excited and thrilled to once again offer an exceptional Cask Strength into the market. We select only a handful of exceptional casks to make this the benchmark for Super Premium Cask Strength Irish Whiskey.”
Put plainly, ‘Cask Strength’ means that the whiskey is bottled at the natural strength, non-chill filtered and non coloured, straight out of the barrel and The Irishman choose only the finest American Oak Bourbon Casks to put its much loved triple distilled whiskey into. This years Cask Strength has come in at 54%, and delivering a wonderful combination of soft bourbon notes with a light malty subplot. Following through with a creamy oak and spice that gives it magnificent superb complexity which balances its expressive strength.
