This whiskey is a vibrant tribute to Ger and Denis MacCarthy, two former sailors from West Cork who traded the sea for stills. These two passionate individuals are the founders of the MacCarthy Distillery, based in the rugged southwest of Ireland. Their journey perfectly captures the spirit of this windswept land—a place of character, shaped by the elements.
The bottle’s design immediately stands out. Inspired by old glass fishing floats once used on boats navigating the Irish coastline, it’s a striking nod to the founders’ maritime roots, bringing a strong sense of identity to this unique expression.
On the palate, this whiskey reveals its distinctive charm through a two-stage maturation: first in first-fill Bourbon casks, then in Sherry casks sourced from the renowned Bodegas Barón. This double ageing process adds aromatic depth, with notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and caramel, lifted by a warm touch of spice.
The result? A whiskey that’s both smooth and complex—ideal for those who love to explore new flavors, without needing to be a connoisseur. It’s sure to appeal to curious enthusiasts and seasoned collectors alike, especially those in search of something genuine and full of character.
