Clonakilty Irish Whiskey

Clonakilty Irish Whiskey is a handcrafted single malt from the coastal town of Clonakilty in West Cork, Ireland. Known for its smoothness, balance, and distinctive flavor profile, it is triple-distilled and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, resulting in a rich yet approachable Irish whiskey with character and elegance.

In the glass, it pours a warm golden amber. The nose is inviting, offering aromas of creamy vanilla, honeyed malt, orchard fruits, and subtle floral notes, with gentle hints of toasted oak and soft spice. On the palate, Clonakilty is smooth and medium-bodied, presenting flavors of caramel, baked apple, honey, soft malt, and light oak, layered with delicate sherry sweetness and a touch of gentle spice. The finish is medium, clean, and warming, leaving lingering notes of malt, honey, and subtle fruit.

Ideal for sipping neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its full complexity, Clonakilty Irish Whiskey also works beautifully in cocktails such as an Irish Coffee, Old Fashioned, or Whiskey Sour. Its approachable yet refined character pairs well with light desserts, nut-based pastries, creamy cheeses, and roasted meats, making it a versatile and elegant addition to any Irish whiskey collection.
