Method and Madness Limousin Oak Cask Irish Whiskey

Irish Whiskey | Limousin Oak Cask Finish | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 700mL

Process & Profile

Method and Madness Limousin Oak Cask Irish Whiskey is a thoughtfully crafted expression from the innovative Method and Madness series produced by Irish Distillers at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. This lineup celebrates creative cask influence, and the Limousin Oak Cask release focuses on the impact of French Limousin oak — a wood traditionally prized in cognac aging for its broad grain and rich tannin structure.

The whiskey begins as a single malt or single grain spirit (or a blend of both, depending on batch specs) and undergoes primary maturation in traditional ex-bourbon or seasoned barrels. It is then finished in Limousin oak casks, imparting vibrant wood-driven character, subtle spice, and refined texture. The result is a nuanced Irish whiskey that bridges bright fruit and vanilla sweetness with oak-forward spice and complexity.
