Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Marsala Cask is a refined and innovative whiskey from the Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, Ireland. This expression uniquely combines the traditional single pot still Irish whiskey style with the rich and aromatic influence of Marsala wine cask finishing, resulting in a whiskey with exceptional depth and character. Maturing in exquisite Sicilian Marsala casks since 2017, a distinctive character and depth of taste have gradually evolved over the last 7 years as it awaited the seal of approval from Head Distiller Brian Taft.
Nose: The aroma opens with layers of honeyed malt, dried fruits like apricot and fig, and hints of toasted nuts. The Marsala cask imparts a luxurious sweetness, with notes of raisins, caramel, and subtle floral undertones.
Palate: The whiskey is rich and creamy on the palate, delivering flavors of spiced orange, red berries, and dark chocolate. The Marsala finish adds a velvety complexity, with nuances of sweet wine, oak spice, and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. The traditional single pot still spice and creamy texture remain beautifully intact.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, oak, and a delicate hint of wine-soaked spices.
This whiskey is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to enhance its intricate flavors. It pairs wonderfully with desserts like tiramisu, dark chocolate, or a cheese board featuring aged Gouda or blue cheese. The Marsala cask influence also makes it a fascinating choice for whiskey enthusiasts seeking something different yet rooted in tradition.
The Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Marsala Cask is a testament to the Shed Distillery’s dedication to crafting unique, high-quality Irish whiskeys. It’s a perfect choice for those looking to explore the interplay of traditional Irish whiskey-making with innovative cask finishes.
