The Taoscán: A World-First Whiskey Innovation The Taoscán is the world’s first and only Port & Chestnut finished single malt whiskey. Honoured with a Silver Medal at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards—second only to its sibling,
The Devil’s Keep—this rare expression is a testament to Craft Irish Whiskey’s dedication to excellence. This triple-distilled Irish whiskey is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted over 15 years in four distinct barrels: Ex-Bourbon American Oak, Sherry Oloroso, and a split between Tawny Port and Virgin Chestnut casks for its final aging. The result is a whiskey of exceptional character and unparalleled depth.
Whether for drinking or collecting, The Taoscán is a whiskey not to be missed. The Craft Irish Whiskey Philosophy Craft Irish Whiskey is on a mission to reclaim Ireland’s position as a global whiskey leader. Combining centuries-old whiskey-making traditions with modern science, the company redefines the art of maturation to create whiskeys of unparalleled quality.
Key innovations include: Adding water before maturation or finishing, preserving rich notes and viscosity at bottling. Underfilling premium barrels, ensuring maturation begins immediately. Rejecting fixed age statements, instead tasting regularly to bottle each whiskey at its peak. This meticulous approach has led to creations like The Devil’s Keep, crowned World’s Best Irish Single Malt, and The Emerald Isle, the world’s most expensive whiskey. Craft Irish Whiskey also elevates the experience with luxurious accessories that complement these exceptional single malts.
