Our most popular flight, The Taste of Ireland takes you on a voyage around Ireland sampling the four styles of Whiskey we specialise in here in Ireland: Blended, Single Malt, Single Grain and Single Pot Still.
1. Fercullen 10-year-old (Grain): Carefully selected from rare stocks of aged Irish Whiskey, the Fercullen 10-year-old Single Grain Irish Whiskey has been aged exclusively in white oak for over a decade before being recasked to mature in fresh bourbon barrels. Balanced, with light, sweet, subtle tones, this inspiring Irish whiskey lends character and company to any occasion.
2. West Cork 7-Year-Old (Single Malt): is the latest malt expression from West Cork Irish Whiskey. As per the Single Pot Still, it uses exclusively 100% local Irish grain and is matured in Bodega Olorosso casks from the Tolerina Rodriguez bodega in Cadiz, Spain for 4 years then further aged in first fill Bourbon Barrels for 3 years.
3. Jameson Single (Pot Still): embodies the traditional Irish Whiskey making style after which it is named. Malted and unmalted barley is triple distilled for a rich, unmistakable silkiness with distinctive pot still spiciness. This Five Oak Cask Release is matured in a combination of three different types of virgin oak (Irish, European and American), in addition to ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The finished result is a whiskey that is equal parts complex and smooth.
4. Kilbeggan (Blend): is a blended Irish whiskey brand that is double rather than triple distilled. It matures for a minimum of four years in ex-bourbon barrels. The Kilbeggan Distillery was restored in 2010 after previously being a museum and warehouse for aging whiskeys made at Cooley Distillery. Kilbeggan itself was distilled at Cooley Distillery so older bottlings may reflect that.
