Descriptions

The second core whiskey bottling from Origin Spirits, Currach Single Malt Irish Whiskey – Atlantic Wakame Seaweed Cask is an intriguing whiskey – complex yet subtle, vegetal yet sweet, light yet deep.

Made from 100% Irish malted barley, it is a triple distilled single malt Irish whiskey, initially matured in 1st fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in Atlantic Wakame seaweed charred virgin American oak casks. It is non-chill filtered, with no caramel colouring, and is bottled at 46% alc./vol.

Wakame, a green seaweed varietal, is sustainably hand-harvested off the wild Atlantic coast of Co. Clare. It is rare and seasonal, and considered to be the king of seaweeds.

Tasting Notes:

Nose :
An intriguing and enticing nose, as sea salt and rye cracker aromas give way to a golden caramel sweetness, backed by vegetal hints with a touch of iodine.

Palate :
Cracked pepper and oak spice, followed by briny yet sweet maritime notes, complemented by a white wine fruitiness, butterscotch, and herbal green tea undertones.

Finish :
An elegant sweet and salty finish with a touch of liquorice and plenty of umami and maritime character.
