"** Disclaimer: This review is what I would consider a “Quick Hit”- meaning I won’t have my usual in-depth notes that I usually like to take. The reason: this sample was poured at Whiskyfest DC on 4/17/18. All of these reviews will not be scored and I am actively looking to try them again at some point to do them more justice. This is one of the newest releases from my favorite Irish distillery: West Cork. They are an independently owned distillery and have a nice selection of single malt, Irish whiskey. This bottle utilized ex-peated whisky casks that were re-charred and then used to age their base spirit. The whiskey was really smooth and had a nice charred oak flavor to go along with the typical vanilla and barley notes found in most of their offerings. My palate was a bit fried by this point and I didn’t get much, if any, peat flavor. The fact the casks were re-charred probably limited any peat smoke to a minuscule amount, but it was still a great whiskey that I’d love to get more of. I believe they are distributed here in Virginia so it’s just matter of waiting and hoping the get this Glengarriff Series here soon.
