Dumangin Whisky Cooley 2009
$134.99
Double distilled Single Grain Irish Whiskey from Cooley. Just to be clear, before we even address the cask finishing, grain whiskey (or whisky) is generally column-distilled and Irish Whisky is often triple distilled. Already we're in strange waters. Now factor in the fact that we have a grain whisky matured for 10 years in refill Bourbon and STR casks before being re-racked into Ratafia? Guaranteed you've not seen a whiskey quite like this.
258 bottles. Natural colour and non-chill filtered.

Hinch Whiskey 12YO Amarone Cask

About Colla Uais
"Irish legend tells the story of The Three Collas. Caireall Colla Uais, Muiredach Colla Fo Chrí and Aed Colla Menn, three brothers who conquered and ruled over most of Ireland, with Colla Uais becoming Ard Rí: The High King of Ireland in the 4th century. Irish history tells us there was a steadfast rule against the slaying of a sitting High King. If a person were to violate that rule, none of their descendants would ever accede to the Irish throne. But Colla Uais (pron. Oosh) and his daring warriors slew the sitting monarch and defeated his followers, thus becoming the High King of Ireland. And so our legend was born."

Glendalough 7 Year Mizunara Finish
$125.99
Japanese Mizunara Casks: So hot right now! They can magically be used to finish any whisky and make it more expensive in the process. This single malt whiskey was initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks before a period of finishing in Mizunara oak. The result is at least 7 years old and bottled at 46%.
Glendalough Distillery was founded by five friends in 2011. It was the first craft distillery to come online in Ireland in the modern era, and heralded the upcoming boom of distillery and brand growth Irish Whiskey would soon undergo. Glendalough Distillery resides in a valley within County Wicklow, about an hour's drive south of Dublin. It has been owned by Mark Anthony Brands since 2019.
Producer Description
"As the first Irish whiskey distillery to use the rare and exotic Mizunara, we had very much ventured into the unknown. Bringing Irish single malt and Japanese oak together went far off the beaten path, literally.
The volcanic northern-most island of Japan, Hokkaido is where we found Mizunara, the most sought-after oak in the whiskey world which we use to age our 7yo Irish Single Malt.
The trunks of these uniquely beautiful trees are prone to growing twisted and are notoriously difficult to cooper due to its porousness. However, therein lies its saving grace, whiskey can seep deeper into the wood extracting more flavour from this unique cask."
