Clonakilty Port Cask Whiskey captures the essence of Ireland’s wild Atlantic coast — a meeting of sea air, heritage barley, and patient craftsmanship. This premium Irish whiskey blends Clonakilty’s own Single Pot Still spirit with carefully selected Single Grain whiskey, matured in ex-bourbon casks before a luxurious finish in port casks from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The result is a vibrant, fruit-driven dram that radiates both coastal freshness and rich depth.
This whiskey stands out for its balance of innovation and tradition. Triple distilled for purity and smoothness, it combines layers of ripe fruit, spice, and soft sweetness in perfect harmony. The port cask finish adds elegance and complexity, infusing the whiskey with red fruit richness and a touch of velvet warmth.
Triple distilled in Clonakilty’s coastal distillery, this whiskey begins life in ex-bourbon barrels before a final rest in seasoned port casks sourced from Portugal’s Douro Valley. This dual maturation brings together sweetness, spice, and fruit-driven charm. Using both Single Pot Still and Single Grain whiskey, the team employ their signature ‘gentle cut’ process, gradually introducing pure spring water to create a beautifully smooth and balanced spirit.
Pairs beautifully with roast duck, charcuterie, or rich vegetarian dishes like mushroom risotto and baked figs with blue cheese.
Bright aromas of peach, apple and vanilla lead to a silky palate of cherries, raisin and spice, with a soft chocolate finish and gentle warmth.
