Trio Of Irish Whiskeys Finished In Craft Beer Casks Debuts
Hinch Distillery out of Northern Ireland recently launched a trio of Irish whiskeys finished in craft beer casks.
The collection, Craft & Casks, includes the Imperial Stout Finish, Irish Red Rye Finish and Rye Export Stout Finish. The collaboration features casks from two Irish breweries; Whitewater Brewery in County Down and Kinnegar Brewery in County Donegal. Each of the three aged whiskeys have their own distinct flavors.
The Imperial Stout Finish is sourced from County Down, which sits in the shadows of the Mourne Mountains. Its Kreme de la Kremlin Imperial Stout brings orchard fruits and butter toffee tastes to the whiskey in what the distillery describes as a “luxurious mouthfeel of light toffee, coffee, vanilla sweetness and cinnamon spice follows.”
