Two Stacks - The First Cut 0.7 l

Two Stacks - The First Cut , Blended Whiskey , 43% Vol.,

Two Stacks Whiskey is reviving the tradition of whiskey bonding. In the past, it was normal in Ireland for pub owners and grocers to blend and bottle their own whiskey. Today, the tradition is increasingly coming back to Ireland. Two Stacks also pours the whiskey into its own barrels, lets it mature and then composes individual blends.

Two Stacks Two First Cut is the first bottling from Two Stacks, which is available in a slightly larger edition. But here too, each bottle was filled and labeled by hand. This blend combines five different whiskeys and is a very complex blend. The following were used for this whiskey: grain whiskey from the virgin oak cask (40%), grain whiskey matured in an ex-bourbon cask (40%), pot still whiskey matured in an ex-Oloroso sherry cask (8%), double distilled single malt matured in an ex-bourbon cask (10%) and peated single malt matured in an ex-bourbon cask (2%). Since Two Stacks also stands for transparency, they state exactly what percentage of which whiskey is contained in the blend.

The First Cut is a whiskey with sweet, spicy notes and a long finish. The whiskey is uncolored and not chill-filtered.
