Velvet Cap Irish Whiskey 700ml

Velvet Cap is the new whiskey by Blackwater Distillery, already renowned for its award-winning gins.

In the days before bourbon casks were common in Ireland, whiskey bonders used whatever barrels they had to hand to mature their stock.

In this part of the world, stout and port were favourites, so John Wilcox, Head Distiller, first blended the whiskey before letting the flavours marry in seasoned casks for up to six months.
