Hyde 1640 No.8 Stout Cask Finish Whiskey

Hyde No. 8 Stout Cask Finish is a unique Irish single malt whiskey initially matured in toasted American oak bourbon barrels before being finished in stout beer barrels from a local craft brewery. This secondary maturation imparts a rich, dark complexity not typically found in Irish whiskey. Bottled at 46% ABV, the whiskey offers inviting aromas of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and subtle hop bitterness, layered over the classic malt and vanilla notes from the bourbon cask aging. The palate is velvety, presenting flavors of cocoa, black licorice, and sweet spice. The stout cask finish contributes a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel and a long, rewarding finish, making it a distinctive and highly flavorful dram. It's an excellent choice for those seeking an innovative take on traditional single malt.
