The Dubliner Irish Whiskey – Smoked Stout Beer Cask Edition

The Dubliner Irish Whiskey has collaborated with one of Ireland’s leading craft brewers to create the second batch of The Dubliner Whiskey Beer Cask Series, an exciting, limited edition range, whereby the award-winning Dubliner Irish Whiskey is aged in beer casks, and craft beers in whiskey casks.

The Dubliner Irish Whiskey partnered with fellow Dublin neighbour and independent Irish craft brewer, Rascal’s Brewing Company, to produce a cheeky coupling of Dubliner 3yo blend with Rascals Smoked Stout casks, making for a whiskey packed with personality.

The two brands joined forces, with The Dubliner Irish Whiskey providing Rascal’s with whiskey casks which were filled with their high quality, unfiltered and unpasteurised beer, and after a few months of finishing, the beer was bottled with the Distillery taking the casks back and refilling them with The Dubliner Irish Whiskey. The result is a whiskey with all the delectability of freshly baked oat cookies, honeyed sweetness and fresh cinnamon spice followed by long bitter maltiness.

Such was the success of the series that Rascal’s ‘Big Smoke’ whiskey-finished smoked stout sold out on release. Further releases with Rascal’s are planned in the coming months.
