KASC™ M 

A hybrid Single Malt like no other.

Bottle of Kinahan's Irish Whiskey with red and white label and black cap

The KASC Project [M] marks a world first — a Hybrid Cask Single Malt Irish Whiskey like no other.

Building on the cult following of our original Hybrid Cask collection, this release pushes the boundaries of whiskey innovation even further. Crafted with a selection of rare and unconventional casks, it continues our quest to explore uncharted territory in whiskey making — where tradition meets bold invention.

What is the Hybrid Cask ?

The KASC Project isn’t just whiskey — it’s a radical reinvention of how whiskey flavour is born.

At its heart lies a bold experiment: harnessing the terroir of wood itself to craft flavour from the cask up. Each expression is matured in hand-built hybrid casks, uniquely constructed from five distinct wood types — Portuguese Oak, American Oak, French Oak, Hungarian Oak, and Chestnut.

Every tree tells a story. Every wood adds a layer. The result? A whiskey of rare complexity and depth, where flavours collide and evolve — spice meets sweetness, richness meets restraint.

Tasting Notes:

Five wooden fence planks with metal braces, each painted in different shades of red, yellow, brown, and natural wood finish.
  • Freshly cut mango & pineapple, poached spiced pear, molasses with a hint of vanilla oak.

  • Charred apricot, caramelised tropical fruits, sweet sun-dried Malvasia grapes and espresso burnt sugar.

  • Madeira cake, more pineapple and toasted cereal with pleasant creamy tannins.

  • Deep brown colour, typically expected from a very old whiskey.
