Distiller Notes
Blending the very best of contemporary Irish flavour with real distilling heritage; Two Stacks — The First Cut is delicately sweet & spicy with a long, satisfying finish and is proudly offered without colourings or chill-filtration.Acquiring its rich, complex yet balanced flavour by liquid drawn from carefully matured & married casks of malt, grain and pot still whiskey, Two Stacks — The First Cut is a truly distinctive Irish Whiskey for contemporary palettes.
The result of an historically prohibitive tax placed on malted barley by the English crown, Irish Whiskey is most often produced from a combination of un-malted barley and other grains. Whereas most other Whiskeys are twice distilled, Irish Whiskeys are distilled three times in a column still and must mature in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. These intricate production steps combine to make them lighter, smoother and more approachable than other styles.
