Clonakilty Double Oak Finish
The Clonakilty Double Oak Cask stands as the centerpiece of Clonakilty’s esteemed cask collection. It represents a rich, premium blend of single grain whiskey and the renowned Single Pot Still whiskey produced by Clonakilty Distillery. This Single Pot Still whiskey earned the prestigious title of World’s Best Irish New Make Single Pot Still at the 2020 World Whiskies Awards. The maturation process of Clonakilty Double Oak involves a harmonious fusion of ex-bourbon casks, virgin American oak, and European oak casks that have been carefully shaved and re-toasted.
