It’s the 2020 release of The Irishman’s Cask Strength Irish whiskey, an ace expression released in limited numbers each year. It was drawn from specially selected ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 54% ABV. 2,595 bottles were produced. The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey is made from a vatting of aged The Irishman Single Malt and aged The Irishman Single Pot Still whiskies, each of which is crafted from Irish barley (the long summer days in Ireland, along with the mild and wet winters, are ideal for growing barley). After the barley has been malted, it is mashed and fermented before being distilled three times through copper pot stills and ultimately laid to rest in ex-bourbon American Oak casks. Each year, Bernard Walsh scours the distillery’s cellars to hand-select a number of exceptional casks which are then blended together to create The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey.
