Bacardi · 1 October 2026 · Europe
Summary

Why it matters
Cask-finishing remains Irish whiskey's main innovation lever, and tying a Venezuela-sourced cask to earthquake relief gives a finish story genuine provenance and purpose beyond liquid novelty.
Rationale
Tagged Ingredient for the cask as the story — an ex-solera Venezuelan rum finish that brings provenance and a charity purpose into Irish whiskey's main innovation lever.
