Minke Vodka – West Cork
Produced by Clonakilty in County Cork, Minke Vodka is named after the native minke whales found off the Atlantic coast. The vodka is distilled using Irish grain and pure local water, with a focus on clean distillation and clarity of spirit. Crafted in small batches, it reflects the distillery’s emphasis on precision and coastal influence.
Tasting note:
The vodka is crystal clear, with a subtle nose of light grain sweetness, soft citrus and a faint mineral edge. On the palate it is smooth and well-balanced, showing gentle notes of vanilla, white pepper and clean cereal tones, supported by a soft, rounded texture. The finish is clean and crisp, with a delicate sweetness and a lightly saline freshness that reflects its coastal origin.
A refined, approachable vodka defined by purity, balance and smooth texture, suitable for both sipping and cocktails.
