- Description
- Hawk's Rock Distillery's inaugural release, this 20-year-old Irish single malt represents an ambitious multi-cask maturation strategy from master distiller Helen Mulholland. After 14 years in bourbon casks, it moves through French Muscat, Sauternes, PX sherry, and Barbadian rum finishes, building layers of orchard fruit, honey, spice, and warming alcohol that remain balanced rather than muddled. The texture is silky and complex, with each cask influence distinct on the palate without dominating. Bottled at 47% ABV, this is for serious whiskey collectors and those seeking complexity that rewards careful study.
