Two Stacks Dark Cloud Cask 2 13 Year
$139.99
This 2012 vintage, 13-year-old Cooley Single Grain Irish Whiskey was bottled at 58%, after finishing in a Passito De Pantelleria Dessert Wine for 9 months. The whisky is a collaboration with Dark Cloud Whisky.
Passito di Pantelleria is a style of wine made on the Italian Island of Pantelleria. The wine is made from Muscat of Alexandria grapes that have been left to dry on straw mats, leaving less water and more concentrated flavour and sugars to ferment and create an intensely aromatic and flavourful dessert wine.
Producer Description
"This cask was chosen by Dark Cloud Whisky (Sean Kincaid) & White Cloud Productions (Jeremy Pue) to reflect their friendship & bond through both ancestral heritage and a mutual respect for Irish Whiskey. This particular whiskey was finished in a Passito De Pantelleria Dessert Wine cask and the result is a delightful dram with a floral & sweet nose along with with some honeysuckle notes. On the palate there is some spice up front but the dessert wine cask really shows with a very smooth finish."

"Blue Spot’s name was derived from the Mitchell’s practice of marking their maturing casks of whiskey with a mark or daub of coloured paint to determine the age potential of the whiskey. Blue Spot was a 7 year old whiskey, Green Spot (10 year old), Yellow Spot (12 Year Old) and Red Spot (15 year old).

About the Label
"The inspiration for our original label comes straight out of a British made sitcom called ‘Father Ted’ It originally aired on Channel 4 from April 1995 and ran for just three series up until May 1998. It came straight from an episode called ‘A Song for Europe’ that featured ‘My lovely Horse’. We didn’t want to change the label too much. That “My Lovely Horse” one is just bloody classic. Nice one, Emily!"
Boann Madeira Cask Irish Whiskey
$97.99
Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey initially matured in ex-Bourbon before finishing in Madeira casks. 47%
Producer Description
"Initially, matured in ex-Bourbon Barrels from the famed Brown Forman of Kentucky and made from American Oak 200ltr (Quercus Alba) with a heavy charring. We filled these casks with a mixed mash bill Single Pot Still distillate which included malted barley, unmalted barley, oats and rye. All of these grains are Irish and grown locally.
"In collaboration with the famous Madeira house, Justino’s, we sourced some of their finest vintage Madeira casks of Tinta Negro (1998 & 2000), Boal (1999) and Sercial (1999, 2000 & 2006) Madeira Colheita wine single varietals. We were able to access these casks from a friendship that has flourished from a previous special collaboration. The wines have been fortified and undergone the canteiro process where the wine is barrel aged with naturally high temperatures in the barrel storage room, replicating the sea voyage maritime aging of the past on Portugal galleons of the medieval ages.
"All casks were formally 350ltr Cognac casks made from (Quercus Robur) French Oak. These Madeira wines ranged from Sweet to Medium to Dry, offering a wide depth and breadth of the terroir of the volcanic island of Madeira.
"The label design of this expression talks about water which is a vital ingredient when making whiskey. This is also a nod to the flowing waters of the Boyne River as well as the North Atlantic Ocean surrounding the Madeira Islands."

Boann Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey – PX Cask
A New Dawn….
Initially, matured in Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads from Bodegas Garvey’s of Jerez da la Frontera, Spain. These 250ltr American Oak (Quercus Alba) hogsheads were chosen alongside George Espie (RIP ex Master of Wood from The Macallan) and Ventura Nunez from the famed Vasyma Cooperage in Jerez.
We filled these casks with a mixed mash bill Single Pot Still distillate which included malted barley, unmalted barley, oats and rye. All of these grains are Irish and grown locally.
We then sourced the most amazing PX casks we have ever come across. These PX Butts 500ltr+ were discovered by our partner cooperage in Andalusia, R.L. Rodriguez, and hail from the Mediterranean climes of Malaga. They had been in a vintage PX Solera system for over 60 years and were thick to the bone with gorgeous PX syrupy wine.
A portion of these casks are made exclusively from Chestnut, which is a very rare variety of wood to mature whiskey in Ireland. Our friends across the water in Scotland can only mature their spirit in oak casks.
We then finished our wonderful Oloroso Sherry matured Single Pot Still in these rare vintage PX Solera Casks.
Harmonising the Oloroso Sherry hogsheads maturation with the rich Spanish PX Butts has created something truly special and decadent.
The label design of this expression talks about the wood and the grain of the cask. As we have used very rare and special 60yo Chestnut PX Solera Butts for this whiskey."
