Kinahan's KASC Project [B] Blended Irish Whiskey (700ml)

A bold leap into uncharted flavor. Welcome to the hybrid cask revolution.

Founded in 1779 and historically celebrated as "The Pioneer of Irish Whiskey," Kinahan's has broken away from centuries of traditional rules to construct a completely new sensory experience. The KASC Project [B] is the world’s very first Hybrid Cask™ Blended Irish Whiskey—an audacious, full-bodied release designed for those who dare to drink differently.

Rather than aging the spirit in a single type of wood, Kinahan's utilizes individual, custom-built barrels made from five completely distinct botanical trees. The result is a spectacular "riot of wood flavor" where intense spices collide with luscious caramel sweetness, delivering an unforgettable flavor profile that completely redefines the boundaries of modern Irish whiskey.

Unique Selling Points (USPs)

• The World’s First Hybrid Cask™ Engineering: Kinahan’s constructs their bespoke aging barrels from a precise configuration of five completely different wood staves, allowing the whiskey to absorb unique characteristics from each tree simultaneously:

  • Portuguese Oak: Introduces rich notes of sun-dried raisins and nutmeg.

  • American Oak: Infuses classic sweet vanilla, honey, and red apple.

  • French Oak: Adds deep baking spices and delicate dried apricot.

  • Hungarian Oak: Contributes roasted coffee accents and heavy toasted oakiness.

  • Chestnut: Provides a unique twist of nutty fudge and caramelized pineapple.

• The Bold Flagship Counterpart: While its sibling expression, the [LL], is designed to be soft and mixable, the [B] release is unapologetically bold, complex, and full-bodied. It is engineered specifically to satisfy the adventurous palates of premium whiskey enthusiasts and collectors.

• A Captivating Flavour Symphony: Bypassing traditional, predictable flavor curves, the multi-wood interaction creates an unexpected kaleidoscope of characters that mimics the deep flavor complexities typically found only in ultra-rare, long-aged spirits.

• Uncompromising Purity: Bottled at 43% ABV with natural, unadjusted deep amber color pulled straight from the hybrid wood staves, and completely non-chill filtered to preserve every ounce of its rich, oily mouthfeel and natural wood oils.

Whiskey Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, dark mahogany brown (a color profile typically expected only from a heavily aged whiskey).

• Nose: Intensely expressive and sweet. Vibrant aromas of red plum, crisp pear, and autumn apple crumble blend smoothly with sweet Mediterranean caramel spices, charred oak, and a warm hint of tropical pineapple.

• Palate: Rich, syrupy, and full-flavored. Deep charred oak and vanilla pod merge seamlessly into a wave of caramelized tropical fruits, ripe mango, and chocolate fudge. Lingering undertones of sun-dried raisins and fig add an exquisite chewiness to the mid-palate.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and comforting. A gentle warm burst of nutmeg, clove, and candied orange peel slowly transitions into a smooth, elegant dryness of sweet honeycomb and syrupy pineapple.
