The 2nd release in Jack Ryan's "Generation Trilogy" is an 11 year old single malt, matured in ex-Bourbona and finished in Rum casks before bottling at 46%.
700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Cinnamon, ginger and a light pinch of nutmeg over a bowl of brown sugar. The sweet rum plays tag, with a spryer more resinous streak from the distillate and a slight dusty dryness from the oak. A sweet nose, but more bakery than sweet shop sweetness and with just enough spry grass interrupting the rum to keep the whole game interesting. With water, the ginger starts to fuse with the oak into something between cinnamon pastry and freshly peeled bark.
Palate: Golden brown, texture like sun… Demerara sugar, warm maple syrup, and old-fashioned rum. Leads after water into honeycomb, nutmeg and thickly honeyed graham cracker glory with a few prickly resisns from the nose’s mown grass keeping all that spiced.
Finish: Old dusty floorboards, gingersnap biscuits, and some actual ginger keeping our brown sugar spry.

This whiskey is a tribute to 100 years of the Ryan Family at their famous Beggars Bush pub on Haddington Road, in Dublin’s Ballsbridge. Bottled at 46%, this 12 year old Irish single malt is sourced from casks produced at the Cooley distillery. Matured in Ex-Bourbon barrels.
About the Producer: "There’s been a pub on the site for at least 200 years. Thomas Ryan became proprietor in 1913, the eve of World War and of Ireland’s independence. He was a traditional vintner and whiskey man – sourcing, maturing, finishing and bottling his own Ryan’s Malt, a firm favourite among discerning locals in The Bush and the other Ryan houses.
"Thomas handed on the pub, and Ryan’s Malt, to his son Jack, born to the trade. Jack maintained the whiskey tradition into the ’40’s, when the near demise of the whole Irish whiskey business forced a pause.
"The Ryans still own and run The Bush, and have revived the family’s whiskey tradition. The Jack Ryan Beggars Bush 12 Year Old Single Malt won an Irish Whiskey Award in 2014. The Centenary 15 Year Old Single Barrel Cask Strength was released in 2015, and more small batches of premium single malts are planned; watch out for the Jack Ryan 15 Year Old Single Malt – The Bourdega."
