Drumshanbo Marsala Cask 43% – Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey from The Shed Distillery

Drumshanbo Marsala Cask is a distinctive and elegant Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, crafted for those seeking something truly special in their glass. This unique Irish whiskey is triple distilled and matured in exceptional Marsala casks from Sicily – a combination that delivers a rich, spicy and silky-smooth tasting experience with remarkable depth.

Produced at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, this whiskey stays true to classic Irish traditions – from grain to glass. It is distilled using a combination of malted Irish barley, un-malted Irish barley and the distinctive Irish Barra oats. The interaction between un-malted barley and Barra oats creates the signature creamy mouthfeel and gentle spice on the finish that defines the beloved pot still style.

Following distillation, the whiskey is matured in carefully selected Marsala casks that previously held sweet, aromatic wines from Sicily. These casks impart warmth, dried fruit notes, nutty nuances and an elegant sweetness that perfectly complements the spirit’s spicy and creamy structure. The result is an Irish whiskey with international character and a truly unique personality.
