Description
Two Stacks The Blender's Cut Irish Whiskey
In creating Two Stacks, there was a desire to blend not just whiskey, but also the very best of contemporary Irish flavour and the real heritage of distilling.
Historically in Ireland, merchants and grocers would blend and age their own whiskey blends. They would select from distilleries and then chose their own casks in which to age. Over the last 150 years this heritage has slowly been on the decline.
Two Stacks wanted to change this. Relying on traditional techniques, they chose whiskies, blend and cask. Then through taste and nose they decide when the Whiskey has reached its maturity and then empty and hand label each bottle.
Their Blender's Cut uses the same recipe as their First Cut Irish Whiskey, however they bottle this one at cask strength – a weighty 65% ABV!
The recipe itself is a blend of grain whiskey's aged in virgin oak and bourbon oak casks. A Pot still whiskey which has been aged in Oloroso Sherry Casks. And finishes with a bourbon cask matured double-distilled malt, and a peated malt aged in bourbon casks.
This results in a full-bodied Irish whiskey, which is packed full of flavour. On the nose there is a rich sweetness from molasses, which is cinnamon enhanced nectarine and a little oak. The palate opens with dried fruits and notes of raisins and sultanas. Ginger and almonds also come through and are joined by caramel sweetness and a touch of black pepper. It finishes with a honey note, balanced with pepper and nutmeg spice.

We love this on its own, either at room temperature of with a single large cube of ice. However, as with all good whiskies - enjoy this how you like your whiskey!
