Cork, located on the southern coast of Ireland, is home to the picturesque town of Skibbereen, which is crossed by the River Ilen. This region is known for its scenic beauty and cultural significance, particularly in the tradition of whiskey production. In 2007, three friends founded the West Cork Distillery in Skibbereen. This small, independent distillery is characterized by the production of high-quality whiskeys, which are made with great care and craftsmanship.

From the very beginning, the founders focused on quality and tradition, combined with an innovative approach. The West Cork Distillery uses crystal-clear spring water and carefully selected grains. This commitment reflects the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship that characterize the Irish whiskey industry.

The whiskey's journey began in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, where it matured for four years before it underwent its real transformation when it was stored in select Panamanian rum casks for the last six months of its maturation. As it was triple distilled, the West Cork Small Batch Rum Finish Very Rare Expression impressively shows how masterful Irish distilling can be.

Da er ohne Farbstoffe und ohne Kuehlfilterung abgefuellt wird, entfaltet dieser Single Malt seinen unverfaelschten Charakter, der sowohl durch seine Reinheit als auch durch seine besondere Reifung besticht und Whisky-Kenner sowie Einsteiger in seinen Bann zieht.
