Cask Na Nollaig — Gaelic for 'Christmas Cask' — is a limited release from Curious Whiskies: an Islay peated blended malt finished in Port casks. Just 200 bottles, released for Christmas 2025. The combination of Islay peat and Port wine richness creates a whisky designed for the darkest, coldest nights of the year.
The Port cask finishing transforms the Islay peat into something genuinely festive. Plum, cherry, dark chocolate and mulled wine spice wrap around the smouldering peat embers, creating a whisky that tastes like Christmas pudding on a bonfire. The texture is thick, weighty and warming — exactly what the season demands.
Cask Na Nollaig is a charming, well-made festive whisky from Curious Whiskies. The 200-bottle limitation makes it genuinely rare, and the Port-peat combination delivers the Christmas-by-the-fire character that the name promises. A merry little dram for the darkest nights.
