Why do we love High N' Wicked No. 7 "Foursquare Mark X 2007" Rum Cask Finished Single Grain Irish Whiskey?
Cocktail enthusiasts will adore High N' Wicked "Foursquare Mark X 2007" Finished Single Grain Irish Whiskey for its unique marriage of Irish whiskey subtlety and bold Barbados rum complexity, resulting from its 6-month finish in casks that previously held Foursquare's award-winning Mark X 2007 rum. This innovative spirit stands out for its intriguing blend of Irish and Caribbean flavors, offering notes of coconut, treacle, and tropical fruits alongside traditional whiskey characteristics, all while maintaining a high 50% ABV and eschewing additives or chill-filtration.
How do you drink High N' Wicked No. 7 "Foursquare Mark X 2007" Rum Cask Finished Single Grain Irish Whiskey?
This unique whiskey shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube to fully appreciate its complex flavors, though it also makes an excellent base for whiskey-forward cocktails. Its rich, sweet profile with tropical fruit notes makes it perfect for balmy summer evenings, paired with grilled meats or fruit-based desserts.
Nose: Inviting aromas of coconut and treacle greet you, followed by bright lemon peel and almond. Subtle notes of nougat and fig emerge, with vanilla smoothing out the edges. As you continue to explore, tropical hints of mango and candied pineapple become apparent, adding complexity to the bouquet.
Palate: Rich and sweet upon first sip, with warming baking spices like clove and cinnamon taking center stage. This quickly gives way to luscious caramel and candied hazelnuts, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The high proof (50% ABV) provides a pleasant warmth without overwhelming the taste buds.
Finish: The flavors linger gently on the palate, softening into a creamy custard-like sensation. The influence of the Foursquare rum casks becomes more pronounced, leaving behind traces of tropical fruit and subtle oak. The finish is medium in length, with a pleasant balance between the whiskey's grain character and the rum's sweet complexity.
This unique whiskey begins its journey as a single grain Irish spirit, distilled from a mash of 95% French maize and 5% malted barley in County Cork. After initial aging in ex-bourbon barrels, it undergoes a 6-month finishing period in casks that previously held Foursquare's acclaimed "Mark X 2007" Barbados rum, imparting complex tropical notes and a rich depth of flavor to the final product.
