Description

Planxty Wilcox 5 Grain Pot Still Whisky (limited run of 400 bottles). Named after head distiller John Wilcox, this whisky is the first annual secret cask, a pencil sketch from Blackwater’s first distilling season in 2018. Described as ‘A great demonstration of what pot still whiskey is all about’, Whisky Magazine, December 2023. Distilled from a mash bill of barley, malted barley and totally non-compliant quantities of wheat, oats and rye and then aged in a 200L American oak, rye cask 2nd fill barrel.

Blackwater Distillery, based on the South coast of Ireland, has created three limited, innovative Irish Whiskies. The small-scale distillery crafts small batches that are unique in style and character. In the 1970s Irish whiskey had largely been redesigned as a blended product, so the flavours that made Irish the world’s whiskey of choice were lost to time. On a journey to re-discover the true characteristics of Irish whiskey, spirits writer and TV producer Peter Mulryan set about on a journey to uncover lost flavours and rediscover the traditional distillation process that makes Irish whiskey so unique. And with that, Blackwater Distillery was born. To distil the best Irish whiskey, Peter looked to take it back to its roots. With the help of Head Distiller, John Wilcox, a man known for his brewing expertise and out-of-the-box thinking, and someone Peter aligned with on vision, the distillery’s unique production of Irish whiskey came into fruition. Blackwater’s small-scale production allows for meticulous attention to detail when creating its innovative drinks. With a double distillation process, and a focus on the source of the flavour, found from the grain, the whiskies are made using 100% Irish malt, raw barley, oats, wheat and rye, to retain maximum character and flavour. The distillery creates a select few casks a week, making the new, exciting Irish whiskies a sought-after product, with a unique position in the sector. With fewer than 450 bottles per product, the whiskies are set to grab the attention of spirit lovers and whiskey advocates.
