Grace O’Malley Maritime Cask is a blended Irish whiskey combining grain, pot still, and malt whiskeys, finished in French oak barrels that have been seasoned by the Atlantic Ocean. These virgin oak casks, crafted exclusively for the Grace O’Malley brand, absorb maritime air and salt over more than a year, imparting a coastal character. Bottled at 40% ABV, this whiskey marries traditional Irish craftsmanship with a bold, sea-blown twist, paying tribute to Grace O’Malley’s adventurous legacy.
