Currach Atlantic Wakame Seaweed Cask, 46%

Price: 65 Issue: Winter 2021 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt


The aromas start subtly with honey, citrus, and dried grasses, while smoke builds from snuffed church candles through to garden bonfire, bringing in notes of seashell saltiness, raw steak in brown paper, and pistachio shells. Finished in a seaweed-charred virgin oak cask, this is a truly contemporary whiskey; thick and sweet with flavors of salted caramel, orange segments, log-fire smoke, and a blast of pepper and clove.
