High n' Wicked Irish Whiskey Foursquare Rum Cask Finish originates from County Cork, Ireland. This single grain Irish whiskey is crafted with a mash bill of 95% French maize and 5% Irish malted barley, showcasing a refined base of smooth grains. Initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels, the whiskey undergoes a unique secondary finish in casks previously holding Foursquare’s "Mark X 2007" Barbados rum, adding layers of complexity and depth.
On the nose, it opens with enticing aromas of coconut, lemon peel, almond, nougat, and vanilla, followed by tropical hints of mango and candied pineapple. The palate is rich and sweet, with warming spices such as clove and cinnamon harmonizing with notes of caramel and candied hazelnuts, delivering a balanced yet luxurious sipping experience.
This whiskey is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to allow the complex flavors to evolve. The finish lingers gently, leaving a soft impression of custard, making it an elegant expression of Irish whiskey with a Caribbean twist.
