High N' Wicked Foursquare Cask Finished Single Grain Irish Whiskey
High N' Wicked's Foursquare Cask Finished Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a distinctive expression that marries traditional Irish distillation with Caribbean rum influences. Crafted in County Cork, Ireland, this whiskey features a mash bill of 95% French maize (corn) and 5% malted barley.
Production Process:
Distillation: Utilizes a Coffey column still, producing a light and clean spirit.
Aging: Initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels, then finished for six months in casks that previously held Foursquare's "Mark X 2007" Barbados Rum, imparting nuanced tropical fruit notes.
Bottling: Non-chill filtered and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), preserving its full flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Coconut, treacle, lemon peel, almond, nougat, fig, and vanilla, with subtle tropical hints of mango and candied pineapple.
Palate: Rich and sweet, featuring baking spices like clove and cinnamon, followed by caramel and candied hazelnuts.
Finish: Gentle and soft, with a hint of custard.
