Clonakilty Port Cask Finish is a premium blended Irish whiskey known for its fruit-forward character and maritime influence, derived from maturing in warehouses along the Atlantic coast in County Cork.
A blend of triple-distilled premium Irish malt and 9-year-old Irish grain whiskey. Recent bottlings may also include the distillery’s own Single Pot Still whiskey.
Maturation: Initially aged in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in authentic Port casks sourced from the Douro Valley, Portugal.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Fresh apples, ripe peaches, vanilla, and creamy malt with hints of wood.
Palate: Very fruity with cherries, raisins, and plums; balanced by spices like cardamom, ginger, and a touch of chili.
Medium-to-long finish with lingering soft spice, black pepper, and a delicate hint of chocolate.
