Cask Strength

By: Carpenter, Laura

In a town where the distillery keeps the lights on and the stories alive, Niamh knows how to measure what matters-flavour, timing, distance. She's a chemist and a taster, brought in to help launch a flagship whiskey that could save the place... or sell its soul.
Jamie has spent his life in the cooperage, hands blackened by iron hoops and oak dust, guarding the craft that makes the whiskey worth drinking. When the board threatens shortcuts and outsourcing, Niamh and Jamie are forced into twelve weeks of late nights, pressure, and the kind of closeness you can't fake.
She's bright honesty with sharp edges. He's quiet strength-the type that doesn't promise big, just shows up, again and again, until you believe it.
But love after loss and ambition isn't simple. Saving the distillery means choosing legacy over optics, truth over comfort... and whether to keep the door shut or let someone all the way in.
Cask Strength is a tender, slow-burn Irish romance about integrity, found family, and a love that deepens with time.
