2y ago
The question on everybody’s lips for the 2020 MVR release was whether or not former Master Distiller, Brian Nation, would have his signature on the bottle, or if this would be the first in the Kevin O’Gorman series. We have an answer. Brian Nation pens his signature on this 2020 release, the 37th edition of the range. He has selected whiskey aged from 13 to 35 years in lightly charred ex-bourbon barrels. There’s a mix of both single pot still and single grain in the blend, with a higher pot still inclusion over previous releases. Kevin O’Gorman, newly appointed Master Distiller at Irish Distil ..read more

Irish Whiskey: 2021 in Review

It was a very busy year for Irish Whiskey. The first half of the year we were in and out of lockdown, almost used to it at that stage and drinking at home turned into finer whiskey becoming the normal dram. Did this contribute to more releases, higher abv and higher overall prices? Including redesign releases and some flavoured spirits from big players like Jamesons’ Orange we had over 250 releases this year. We had 3 distilleries bring their own whiskey spirit to market for the first time with Ballykeefe, Connacht and Rademon Estate Distillery showing us what has been quietly aging away since ..read more
