The Celtic Whsikey Shop in Dublin filled an Alestino estate wine cask with an unpeated single malt that had spent 11 years in a bourbon cask. Three years of further maturation has given this malt a beautiful chocolate bronze colour. The whiskey has picked up lots of the rich raisin and coffee flavours from the Brunello di Montalcino Italian red wine, which lingers long into the finish.

This is a rare and truly special treat. In the late 1980s and early 1990s an Irish distillery was making batches of a style of whiskey it's not usually associated with - double-distilled, peated single malt. After 22 years maturing in a bourbon cask, the Celtic Whiskey Shop transferred it to a port pipe from one of Portugal's finest wine makers, Quinta do Noval, where it spent a further two years. The extra maturation has given the malt great complexity and bold, fruity flavours. Highly recommended.

A delicious, peated single malt that was double distilled and initially aged for eleven years in an ex-Bourbon barrel. It was then transferred into a red Rhone wine cask from Domaine Des Anges for an additional finishing period of around four years.

The whiskey was initially aged for 10 years in a second fill bourbon cask. In October 2011 this cask was emptied to fill an Ànima Negra Mallorcan red wine cask. Dry & bold on the palate with an instant punch of peat smoke. With time it becomes more sweet fruit dominated with flavours of dried fruits, red apples, orange peel and a hint of toasty oak.

A richly flavoured and smoky single malt that was initially matured in a single Bourbon cask then tranferred into a Vinhos Barbeito Madeira cask for finishing. The combination of smokiness along with some rich, dried fruit characters from the Madeira cask work really well together.

Anima Negra is a highly regarded winery on the island of Mallorca, they make some of the finest red wines in Spain, predominantly from local grape varietals. We have released several whiskeys that have been finished in their fine French oak casks and this is one of the best. These casks seem to have a great affinity with Irish whiskey and they tend to add delicious flavours of cola, spice and dried citrus fruits.

This is a double distilled single malt, but curiously it comes from a distillery more famed for triple distilled malts. It spent around four months in one of our Anima Negra red wine casks which has added to the fruitiness and spiciness of the whiskey. Aromas of fig jam, dried apricots, mace, citrus and pineapple. On the palate it is fruity and densely textured with flavours of apricots, exotic spices and dried fruits. Warming and spicy on the finish.

For the Seacht we took some whiskey that had matured in 2nd fill Bourbon cask and filled some of the contents in a Vin Santo Carratello (small barrel) from Altesino. Vin Santo is a highly desireable Italian dessert wine that is made by air drying grapes slowly in barn lofts. The effect the tiny barrel had on the whiskey has been very interesting. It has an exotic and spicy flavour, quite unlike any other Irish whiskey, but absolutely delicious.
