Celtic Cask Cuig 1991 Single Pot Still (5)

70cl / 46% Vol
Celtic Cask Cuig 1991 Single Pot Still (5)

Celtic Cask “Cuig” was triple distilled in Ireland in 1991 and was matured in a first fill Bourbon cask for over 13 years. It then spent the next 8 years out of cask before we rescued it from the angels' grasp! It was bottled as a Celtic Cask in September 2013. This is Irish Single Pot Still whiskey from a distillery whose identitiy we are not allowed to reveal. Nose: Intense and complex with aromas of dried citrus peel with touches of ginger, allspice and mocha. Taste: Juicy, complex and spicy. Great depth of flavour. Flavours of dried fruits, boiled sweets, citrus peel and allspice. Finish: Gloriously spicy and oily. Like an old, heavy pot still whiskey but smoother and more refined.

FAQs
Irish whiskey is most honestly assessed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, where the full aromatic profile can develop. Adding a few drops of room temperature water to a pot still or single malt expression above 46% ABV opens the ester character and integrates the oak. Over a large ice sphere it becomes a more contemplative drink that evolves as the temperature rises. Avoid adding ice to aged or premium expressions: the cold contracts the spirit and suppresses the complexity you paid for.
Yes. Irish whiskey is distilled from a grain mash, typically malted barley with or without unmalted barley, grain, or corn, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins to below detectable levels. All major Irish whiskey producers including Irish Distillers, Midleton, Teeling, and Bushmills consider their products gluten free under current food safety standards. Individuals with clinically confirmed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit.
The most consistently excellent Irish whiskeys across price points are Redbreast 12 Year Old as the benchmark single pot still, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old for sherry cask complexity, Midleton Very Rare for aged prestige, and Teeling Single Grain as an underrated value option. For under €40, Powers Gold Label and Jameson 18 Year Old represent excellent value for their respective categories. The single pot still style using both malted and unmalted barley is Ireland's most distinctive and most rewarding contribution to world whiskey.
Irish whiskey is a legally defined spirit produced on the island of Ireland from a yeast fermented grain mash, distilled to under 94.8% ABV, and matured for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The five recognised styles are single malt, single grain, single pot still, blended, and blended malt. Triple distillation, used by the majority of Irish producers, and the use of a proportion of unmalted barley in the single pot still style are the defining technical characteristics of the category.
