Two Stacks Single Pot Still Double Barrel Irish Whiskey epitomizes the mastery of Irish whiskey-making with its innovative cask finish approach. The whiskey's journey begins in traditional ex-bourbon barrels, imparting the classic flavours of vanilla and caramel, before being transferred to ex-American Rye casks. This second maturation adds distinctive layers of spice and enhances the complexity of the drink.
Crafted with meticulous care, this whiskey incorporates both malted and unmalted barley in its mash, adhering to the single pot still tradition. The use of ex-American Rye casks is a nod to modern whiskey-making techniques, adding a unique twist to the historic Irish whiskey profile.
Two Stacks operates with a commitment to innovation and tradition, showcasing the best of Irish whiskey craftsmanship. Their approach to cask finishing is a testament to their dedication to creating sophisticated and contemporary expressions while respecting the heritage of Irish distilling.
