The 2022 The Irishman Vintage Cask, according to those behind it, is a global release of 6,100 bottles that consists of a blend of triple distilled, aged Irish single malt and single pot still whiskeys. The casks used for this annual vintage are hand-selected by The Irishman’s founder Bernard Walsh, with this year’s release being non-chill filtered and bottled at 54.9% ABV.
“The Irishman Cask Strength series is an annual celebration of one of Irish Whiskey’s greatest traditions,” said Walsh in a prepared statement. “A revival, brought back by The Irishman in 2008, that helps to showcase a style of whiskey from the heart of Irish whiskey’s golden era. The 2022 vintage of The Irishman Vintage Cask is a whiskey full of true strength of character, fortitude, depth and body, but with a surprising mellowness that ripples on the tongue.”
The Irishman Vintage Cask 2022 is available in Travel Retail and selected countries globally, and now comes in a double-doored presentation case. Pricing is set at US$140/ €130, and you’ll find official tasting notes below from the brand.
