Celtic Cask Ceathair (4) 2001 12 Year Old Madeira Finish
Celtic Cask “Ceathair” was matured in 1st fill Bourbon casks for 10 years. In December 2011 it was emptied into a Madeira cask from Vinhos Barbeito – A producer of exceptional quality Madeira.
It was bottled at just over 12 years old. This whiskey was distilled at Cooley Distillery, Co. Louth. It is unchill-filtered with no added colouring. Drawn from cask number 209-V11/10A. Just 377 bottles made.
We love the rich, Madeira character which works really well with the maltiness of the Cooley malt. One to take your time over!
