West Cork Bourbon Cask Irish Whiskey – 70 cl

West Cork Distillers was formed in 2003 by childhood friends, John O’Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy at a time when it made very little economic sense to do so. The early years were far from glamorous, operating in a room at the back of Denis’ house in Union Hall with two small stills bought from a schnapps producer in Switzerland.

Currently the distillery operates out of a 12.5 acre site on Marsh Road, with a distillation capacity of 4mln litres of pure alcohol. With distributors across the globe, the award winning West Cork Irish Whiskey is now sold in almost 70 countries. Case sales have risen considerably every year for the past six years and the staff has grown to over 80 people, with the majority based locally in West Cork.

Distillation is carried out in eight pot stills and two column stills which produce almost 4.5 million litres of alcohol. A further three stills are dedicated to gin. Seven warehouses, which are all located on site at the distillery in Skibbereen, store up to 55,000 casks as needed. Five bottling lines operate 24 hours per day, six days per week. Every hour, there are 2,000 bottles processed on site.

Indulge all of your senses with a smooth glass of Johnnie Walker Double Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky. Strongly influenced by powerful and peaty West Coast and Islay Single Malts, the intensity is immediately apparent with the taste of smoke and smoldering spices. An impressive blended Scotch to share, whatever the occasion.

Simply mix with soda water, pour over ice and garnish with a lime wedge for a Highball cocktail.          Johnnie Walker was recognized as one of the world's top-trending Scotch whiskies at the 2020 Drinks International awards. The Johnnie Walker brand's extraordinary knowledge of Scotland’s malts and its deep desire to create well-balanced blends of island malt whiskies led to the whisky brand we have today. Each batch is then carefully matured to perfection in quality oak casks. As one of the biggest whisky brands in the world, Johnnie Walker embraces a rallying cry for optimism through adversity as it challenges the world to keep walking.

Please drink responsibly.

Johnnie Walker® Double Black Label™ is a scotch whisky with more Islay whisky compared to the original Black Label, and it has a more intense flavor and smoke character profile while preserving the original Johnnie Walker whisky style. It's a full-bodied drink with an alcohol concentration of 40%. Its aroma hints the smell of dry oak and light stony smoke. The orange zest and apples coupled with vanilla and spices bring freshness and softness to the tongue, giving it a generally sweet taste. Serve a measure of the Double Black Label whisky over ice cubes topped with a soft drink for a great cocktail.
