Single Grain Irish Whiskey | Virgin Spanish Oak Finish | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 700mL

Process & Profile

Method and Madness Virgin Spanish Oak Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a distinctive expression from the Method and Madness series produced by Irish Distillers at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. This whiskey begins as a single grain spirit — typically distilled from a mash of mostly maize with a portion of malted barley — which is then matured in virgin Spanish oak barrels. Unlike ex-bourbon or ex-sherry casks, virgin Spanish oak delivers fresh wood influence, imparting bold vanilla, creamy coconut, and toasted spice notes without prior seasoning from other liquids. The Method and Madness series is designed to celebrate cask experimentation, and this Virgin Spanish Oak release showcases how new, robust wood character can shape a grain whiskey’s texture and flavor.
