This Maritime Series Sherry Cask is a single malt Irish whiskey matured first in first‑fill bourbon casks before a finishing period in Bodegas Barón sherry casks, presented in the range’s distinctive mouth‑blown, fishing‑float‑inspired bottle. The nose is rich and fruity, dried prunes, figs, raisins, sherry and vanilla. While the palate opens soft and sweet with caramel, malt, dark fruit and toasted nuts, gradually shifting toward a drier, spice‑led finish. Long, warming and elegantly structured, it’s a whiskey that blends Irish smoothness with sherry‑driven depth, all tied to the distillery’s maritime heritage.

West Cork Distillers is one of Ireland’s most dynamic independent whiskey producers, founded in 2003 in Union Hall by childhood friends John O’Connell, Denis McCarthy and Ger McCarthy, two fishermen and a food scientist who built the distillery from scratch. Now based in Skibbereen, it remains wholly Irish‑owned and proudly local, with grain sourced from the region, a portion of barley malted in‑house, and triple distillation carried out slowly through copper pot stills for maximum refinement. Their style leans fruit‑forward, clean and cask‑driven, with maturation regimes that balance accessibility and character. From first‑fill bourbon to expressive sherry finishes. Today, West Cork is known for innovation, craftsmanship, and a strong connection to the rugged Atlantic coastline that shapes both their identity and their Maritime Series.
