Dha Casca means “two casks”. I had the privilege to have a sample of this whiskey sent to me some time ago while I was in Ireland, a limited release single malt whiskey from West Cork Distillers. It’s been matured in Bodega sherry casks, cut to 40%, and then finished in double charred bourbon casks.

After I came home from Ireland and did some internet searches for more info on this whiskey, I realised that it was still available at Supervalu in some places! How bad that I didn’t know about that (or that I didn’t think of that possibility while I was there, I guess I thought it was so old that all of it was gone already) and did some more Supervalu visits! It’s a very nice whiskey indeed.

Nose
Light wood, something floral, fruity, maybe pineapple, strawberry, a touch of lemon? Definitely almond, and something undefined burnt.

Palate
Floral, and light oak. Pepper with something fruity further back into the throat. Nuts? Apple? It has a long finish with pepper. With a drop of water, there’s some vanilla too.
Nice and very pleasant to the palate.

Thanks to Whiskey Nut for whiskey sample and photos!
