Flaming Pig Black Cask Irish Whiskey
Regular price $54.00
Flaming Pig is the brainchild of Joey and Flor, two drinks industry fellas from Ireland who saw a gap in the market for an uncomplicated Irish whiskey that delivered more taste and character than the run-of-the-mill brands. Flaming Pig is a blend of Irish single malt and grain whiskies, made richer and spicier, with added smokiness, from intense barrel charring.
The West Cork Distillery in Southern Ireland is responsible for production, from the first blend to the final bottling. A blend of malt and grain, the whiskey is matured in intensely charred barrels for 6 months and then bottled on-site. The resulting woody, caramelized flavour from the barrels makes the Pig a little bourbon-y in taste, easy to drink but distinctively Irish.
Nose: Hot chocolate and strong tea, with toasted brioche underneath.
Palate: BBQ pineapple and mango develop on the palate. Still quite chocolatey.
Finish: Peaches in syrup, nutmeg and toffee.
