Two Stacks Apricot Brandy Cask Irish Whiskey 750ml

Two Stacks "The Blender's Cut" Apricot Brandy Cask is an innovative, high-proof Irish whiskey finished in unique French oak casks that previously held luscious apricot brandy, delivering an intricate balance of orchard fruit and deep pot-still spice.

Product Highlights

• Description: Built on a complex, signature five-part blend of grain, single malt, pot still, and peated malt whiskies, this limited-edition release undergoes a secondary maturation in apricot brandy casks. The result is a bold, "affected" flavor profile that pushes traditional Irish boundaries, marrying old-world grain craftsmanship with rich, vibrant stone-fruit sweetness.

• Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Rich apricot cobbler, floral honey, and toasted oats, underscored by marzipan and a faint hint of background smoke.

  • Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, opening with sweet stewed apricots, vanilla, and creamy caramel before giving way to bold baking spices like nutmeg and clove.

  • Finish: Long and warming with sticky apricot jam, a gentle flash of black pepper, and drying, minty wood tannins.

• Pairing Suggestions: Beautifully complements earthy, savory dishes like roasted duck breast with an orange glaze or a charcuterie board featuring rich pork pâté. It also pairs naturally with creamy, pungent cheeses like Roquefort, or spiced desserts like almond tarts and gingerbread cake.
