“Wisdom without Perplexity” West Cork Cask-Strength Single Malt: 57.44%
$ 200$ 190
Entitled “Wisdom without Perplexity”. This unique expression is part of a limited range of 4 bottles. Distilled in 2013, the final year of operations for the now-closed, old West Cork Distillery. An expansion in 2014 saw West Cork Distillers move operations to a larger site outside Skibbereen. The entire range is bottled at cask strength, with slight variances in A.B.V. This particular bottling comes in at 57.44%, aged in first-fill bourbon casks, and finished in toasted rye casks. Great value potential with the addition of water.
Nose: Lots of citrus, orange, grapefruit, some pineapple. Plum and Fig in the middle.
Palate: Heavy wood influence. The toasted rye cask bringing some light smoke, with a tangy mouthfeel.
Finish: Pear and banana aromas linger.
