The Pogues Irish Single Malt – 70 cl

After a first blended malt, the West Cork distillery offers to discover its whiskey The Pogues Single Malt: a success.

Distilled from 100% malted barley from Ireland, the whiskey benefited from aging in Bourbon casks and sherry casks to develop its aromatic palette. A Single Malt in pure Irish style with notes of cereals and sweet spices.

The members of the Irish band The Pogues collaborated once again with West Cork for the realization of this whiskey.
