High N' Wicked Foursquare Rum Cask Finish is an exemplary Single Grain Irish Whiskey that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship synonymous with County Cork, Ireland. This limited release marries tradition with innovation, employing a mash bill of 95% French maize and 5% malted Irish barley, distilled through the esteemed Coffey column still method. Such a technique ensures a smooth, refined spirit, providing a perfect canvas for the whiskey's complex character to unfold.
After an initial maturation period in ex-bourbon barrels, this whiskey undergoes a captivating transformation, finishing for six months in casks that previously cradled the illustrious "Mark X 2007" Barbados rum from Foursquare. This unique aging process imbues the whiskey with an exotic depth, intertwining the rich flavors of the Caribbean with the elegance of its Irish origins. The decision to eschew chill filtration preserves its natural oils and flavors, resulting in a spirit that is as luxurious in texture as it is in taste.
Aroma: A bouquet of enticing aromas greets the nose, featuring notes of coconut, lemon peel, and almond, interwoven with nougat and vanilla. Subtle hints of tropical fruits, such as mango and candied pineapple, further elevate this olfactory experience.
Taste: The palate reveals a rich and sweet profile, where warming spices of clove and cinnamon dance harmoniously with the luscious notes of caramel and candied hazelnuts, creating an indulgent and balanced tasting experience.
Finish: The finish is elegantly soft, lingering gently with a delicate impression of custard, leaving a lasting mark of sophistication and allure that defines this remarkable expression of Irish whiskey.
