Clonakilty Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Clonakilty Single Malt Irish Whiskey is Irish whiskey shaped by the Atlantic: a double-distilled, no-age-statement single malt matured in former bourbon casks and warehoused at Clonakilty's ocean-side warehouse on Ireland's Atlantic coast, imbuing it with a distinctive maritime complexity — bottled at 43.6% ABV in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Clonakilty Distillery, founded in 2016 in County Cork by the Scully family — nine generations farming the coastal land — distills and matures on site, with the sea air working the casks. Imported to the US by Marussia Beverages USA.

Brand tasting notes: nose of soft oak, sweet honey, and floral notes of plum and berries; palate of oak spice — cinnamon, clove, nutmeg — with vanilla; a finish of drying spices giving way to vanilla creaminess, ending with blackcurrants and raspberries.

Serving note: neat in a tulip glass — the maritime aromatics are the point. A natural with oysters or sharp cheddar.

What is the ABV? 43.6% ABV, 750mL.

What makes it "maritime"? The bourbon casks mature in Clonakilty's warehouse on the Irish Atlantic coast, where sea air shapes the whiskey.

How old is it? No age statement — a double-distilled single malt, NAS.

Is this the same as Clonakilty Double Oak? No — the Single Batch Double Oak Finish is a separate expression with different casks and awards, though it shares the 43.6% ABV.
