Two Stacks The Blender's Cut - Apricot Brandy Cask Strength

Two Stacks The Blender's Cut Apricot Brandy Cask Strength is an Irish blended whiskey that derives its unique character from a finish in apricot brandy casks.

This whiskey is composed of a complex blend of single pot still, double and peated malt, and both light and dark grain whiskeys. After a 59-day maturation in French oak casks that previously contained apricot brandy, the whiskey was bottled at cask strength with an alcohol content of 63.2%. The edition is limited to 318 bottles.
