Hyde#8StoutCaskFinishedWhiskey(700mL)

<p><em>Limited Irish Whiskey with a fantastic beer cask influence. </em></p><p>There’s an explosion of Whiskeys finished in barrels that used to hold beer, an experiment<em> we’re quite fond of</em>, really. After Glenfiddich’s IPA Experiment and Jameson’s Caskmates Stout comes another Whiskey feat. beer collab — this time from <em>Hyde Distillery</em>. They carry the name of the first President of Ireland, Douglas Hyde, and while he did not produce Whiskey, he is an <em>inspirational figure</em> for all the Irish. The Whiskey-making side of the family, however, goes way back. They owned bars in West Cork between 1640 and 1962, and they were famous for having some of the<em> best Irish Whiskeys available</em>. Alan and Conor Hyde hail from that <em>impressive lineage</em> and they’re not messing about.</p><p><em>Hyde #8 Stout Cask Finish Whiskey</em> is a triple-distilled blend of 75% grain and 25% malt Whiskey. The grain one was matured in <em>ex-Bourbon casks</em> for four years, while the malt spent the same amount of time in former Oloroso Sherry butt. The blend was then moved for another six months to a cask infused with Stout that came from the <em>Cotton Ball micro-brewery</em>. This delectable recipe resulted in a Whiskey that teems with notes of coffee and malt. Beware, though: <em>only</em> <em>5000 bottles exist</em>.</p>
