Let’s explore what’s waiting in your glass 👇

🥃 Kilbeggan Small Batch Rye — 43% ABV

A distinctive whiskey that blends Irish tradition with a rye twist. Distilled at the historic Kilbeggan Distillery, this mashbill includes malted and unmalted barley with 30% rye, delivering a wonderfully balanced whiskey with peppery lift and subtle sweetness.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Toasted rye bread, baking spice, light vanilla sweetness
Palate: Spicy and zesty with clove, cinnamon, cracked black pepper, caramel and honey
Finish: Dry, warming, with lingering spice and a touch of oak

Why We Love It:

Kilbeggan’s rye is a rare Irish experiment that really works — rich, complex, approachable and endlessly sippable.

🥃 Clonakilty Single Pot Still — 46% ABV

From the windswept Atlantic coast, Clonakilty’s pot still whiskey delivers coastal freshness with classic Irish character. Triple distilled and matured in ex-bourbon casks, it’s full-bodied and silky with a beautiful balance of spice and sweetness.

🥃 Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt — 46% ABV

A rare peated Irish whiskey, triple distilled for extra smoothness but packed with character. Blackpitts brings BBQ smoke, fruit sweetness and vibrant spice together in a way that flips expectations of Irish whiskey on its head.
