Two Stacks Single Grain Double Barrel Irish Whiskey embodies the innovation and craftsmanship of modern Irish whiskey production. Distilled using 95% maize and 5% Irish malted barley, this whiskey is triple distilled in a column still, ensuring a clean, crisp spirit that serves as the perfect foundation for its subsequent maturation.
Two Stacks has meticulously blended this single grain whiskey to highlight the subtleties of both the grain spirit and the influence of dual cask maturation. The initial aging in ex-bourbon casks imparts classic vanilla and light oak notes, while the finish in Oloroso sherry casks introduces a rich tapestry of dried fruit and nutty flavours.
Produced at The Great Northern Distillery, a site renowned for its versatile whiskey production capabilities, Two Stacks takes pride in their innovative approach to whiskey blending and finishing. This expression showcases their commitment to quality and flavour diversity, making Two Stacks a notable name in the contemporary Irish whiskey scene.
