Pioneering Irish whiskey label Method and Madness has released the first single pot still Irish whiskey to be aged in casks made from Brazilian Amburana Wood, more commonly used for the spirit Cachaça.
This is the latest cask experiment by Method and Madness, crafted by Irish Distillers, in its pioneering Micro Distillery team.

Available in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Irish Distillers’ Brand Homes, and Global Travel Retail, this Method and Madness expression is priced at €95. It’ll be available in the USA early 2025.
