Two Stacks The First Cut

A new chapter in Irish whiskey.
Two Stacks The First Cut is where modern Irish whiskey meets the craft of the past — a beautifully balanced blend that celebrates the rebirth of independent Irish distilling. Created by the visionary team at Two Stacks Whiskey, this small-batch expression is a tribute to authenticity, transparency, and the art of blending that once defined Ireland’s golden age of whiskey.

The name The First Cut evokes both craftsmanship and precision — that perfect middle cut of spirit where quality lives. Made with a unique blend of grain, malt, and pot still whiskeys, it’s matured in ex-Bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and virgin oak casks. The result is a whiskey that feels classic yet contemporary, with a nose of soft vanilla and honeyed malt, followed by a palate rich in caramel, orchard fruit, gentle spice, and toasted oak. Each sip feels like a return to true Irish character — honest, smooth, and full of life.

From its traditional roots to its small-batch independence, The First Cut embodies Ireland’s whiskey renaissance. Whether savoured neat or shared among friends, it’s a whiskey that reminds you why Irish spirits are loved the world over — for their warmth, charm, and the stories they inspire.

Why we love it:
We love The First Cut because it represents everything Two Stacks stands for: craftsmanship, balance, and integrity. It’s approachable yet complex, offering a genuine taste of Ireland’s distilling soul. Perfect for those who want a whiskey that’s not just smooth, but thoughtfully made and deeply rooted in Irish tradition.
