Transportation Whiskey, Coffin Ship Cask Strength Release – 55.2% 700mL

This new release is named after the Transportation Ships that the convicts were forced to endure on their arduous journey to new lands. So many died on these ships due to the poor conditions that they were named “coffin ships”. The picture is of the “coffin ship” national famine memorial in county Mayo.

This whiskey is a marriage of a delicate second fill bourbon cask and first fill port cask which was then finished in a PX Sherry cask.

The flavours of this single pot still whiskey is a pleasure to drink with an amazing fruity nose and big full bodied palate with that wonderful spice from the unmalted barley. Big, oily and creamy it is bursting with red liquorice, stone fruits, dark chocolate and delicate caramel and vanilla undertones. It is sure to delight. Limited to just 30 bottles of the cask strength version of this release.
