West Cork Distillers, in partnership with its U.S. importer M.S. Walker, has released its first collaboration product with Massachusetts-based craft brewer Castle Island Brewing Co. This special partnership, which first brought “Greetings from Skibb” Export Stout to beer-lovers, is back with West Cork’s first Export Stout Cask Finished Blended Irish Whiskey.

The partnership came about through a mutual admiration between the two craft producers and how much pride they take in their products. West Cork Distillers initially shipped empty barrels that aged their Bourbon Cask Irish Whiskey to Castle Island Brewing Co. The craft brewer then aged its Imperial Stout in the barrels, imparting flavors of charred oak, rich vanilla, and hints of dark fruit into their smooth base beer. The barrels were then shipped back to West Cork, where the team finished this blended Irish Whiskey to bring the collaboration full-circle. Available now, this limited release whiskey is a blend of 75% grain and 25% malt, both matured in first-fill American bourbon barrels before being married to further age for 6-8 months in casks which had held Castle Island Brewing Co.’s Barrel Aged Export Stout. The whiskey has aromas of chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla and toffee, with flavors of malt, chocolate, marzipan and vanilla with green fruit and a sweet, floral and fruity malt finish.
