DISTILLING
& AGING
The distinguished character of Red Locks Irish whiskey comes from how we balance the unique flavors imparted by different casks. Here’s a look inside the barrel.
Our first fill ex-bourbon casks imbue the rich florals and spice of American bourbon into our whiskey. Maturation in sherry casks adds some traditionalist nuance, and time in rye casks gives the whiskey a delicate bite. Finally, the aging time in virgin oak casks lends Red Locks a heavy woody taste alongside a hint of vanilla, which develops when the casks are charred and the sugars in the wood are caramelized.
