Velvet Cap Irish Whiskey

Velvet Cap Irish Whiskey comes from Blackwater Distillery in County Waterford, the independent distillery founded by whiskey writer Peter Mulryan in the Blackwater Valley. It is a blend of malt and grain whiskeys matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle, named for the velvet caps worn by the Waterford gentry of old.

The style is soft and easy, as the name suggests: honey, vanilla and green apple on the nose, a smooth palate of cereal sweetness, light toffee and gentle oak, and a clean, mellow finish. It sips well neat or over ice and is a natural for an Irish coffee, a whiskey ginger or a Hot Toddy.

This 700ml bottle is a well-priced craft Irish blend from one of the country's most independent-minded distilleries. Buy Velvet Cap Irish Whiskey online with fast shipping right to your door.
