At first look, there may be a temptation to argue that The Clonakilty Double Oak Irish Whiskey is definitely a Triple. It makes use of ex-Bourbon, new charred American oak and ex-Pink Wine casks. In truth, I wished to make that argument, however the operative phrase in that title is Oak.
“Triple Wooden”… positive, as a result of it makes use of three totally different “preparations” of wooden, but it surely does that utilizing simply two totally different sorts of oak: American and European. Three kinds, two oaks, is sensible. Now let’s see if it’s any good.
Now, let’s get to drinkin’!
