18 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY COGNAC CASK
A legendary Single Malt – The last of its generation. Grace O’Malley 18 Year Old Single Malt Cognac Cask is a an award-winning Single Malt, aged for at least 18 years in Bourbon barrels, and refined for six months in wet Cognac casks which previously held Cognac for more than 30 years.
The casks have been hand selected by Grace O’Malley Master Blender, Paul Caris, who has worked with leading wine- and spirits companies and has won the ICS „World‘s Best Cognac“ trophy. This additional maturation in the Cognac cask then embeds the rich fruit, almond and cinnamon flavours derived from the wood of the cask.
Individually numbered and signed by our Founder Stephen Cope, each bottle is a celebration of the craft of Irish whiskey and the singular character of Grace O’Malley. With only 211 bottles available, this limited edition is a true mark of our ambition.
