Two Stacks Cask Strength Irish Whiskey
Two Stacks Cask Strength Irish Whiskey (128 Proof) is a bold, high-octane expression of modern Irish whiskey blending. Bottled straight from the cask at 64% ABV, it amplifies the vibrant character of Two Stacks’ signature blend—delivering concentrated fruit, rich caramel sweetness, peppery spice, and a subtle whisper of peat smoke. Powerful yet layered, it is designed for enthusiasts who want to experience Irish whiskey at its most intense and unfiltered.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Two Stacks is a contemporary Irish whiskey bonder and blender, reviving the historic tradition of Irish merchants sourcing, maturing, and blending whiskey from multiple distilleries. Their whiskies are distilled at Great Northern Distillery in Dundalk, Ireland, then blended and bottled by the Two Stacks team.
The Cask Strength edition—often called “The Blender’s Cut”—uses the same intricate five-part blend as the brand’s flagship whiskey but is bottled without dilution, dramatically increasing flavor intensity.
The blend consists of:
-
40% dark grain whiskey aged in virgin American oak casks
-
40% light grain whiskey aged in ex-bourbon barrels
-
10% double-distilled malt whiskey aged in bourbon casks
-
8% pot still whiskey aged in Oloroso sherry butts
-
2% peated malt whiskey aged in bourbon casks
This diverse blend creates an unusually layered profile, combining sweet grain richness, classic Irish pot still spice, sherry-derived fruit complexity, and a subtle smoky element.
Bottled at 64% ABV (128 proof) and typically non-chill filtered, the whiskey retains heavy oils and texture that contribute to its full, mouth-coating body.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
Bold and aromatic with grilled pineapple, dried tobacco, orange blossom, and vanilla cream, followed by faint campfire smoke.
Palate:
Full-bodied and powerful with caramel, shortbread, tropical fruit, and toffee sweetness, layered with pot still spice and a gentle smoky note.
Finish:
Long and warming with leather, baking spice, citrus zest, and lingering oak, often evolving further with a few drops of water.
