Introducing the first single cask Pot Still from An Fear Grinn. This whiskey spent over 5 years in Bourbon casks before receiving a finishing in Rye. As expected, this ageing gave the whiskey wonderful bursts of zesty lemon, zingy orange and green apple freshness coupled with spice from the rye. One to savour and enjoy. Limited to 210 bottles.

FAQs
Irish whiskey is most honestly assessed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, where the full aromatic profile can develop. Adding a few drops of room temperature water to a pot still or single malt expression above 46% ABV opens the ester character and integrates the oak. Over a large ice sphere it becomes a more contemplative drink that evolves as the temperature rises. Avoid adding ice to aged or premium expressions: the cold contracts the spirit and suppresses the complexity you paid for.
Yes. Irish whiskey is distilled from a grain mash, typically malted barley with or without unmalted barley, grain, or corn, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins to below detectable levels. All major Irish whiskey producers including Irish Distillers, Midleton, Teeling, and Bushmills consider their products gluten free under current food safety standards. Individuals with clinically confirmed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit.
The most consistently excellent Irish whiskeys across price points are Redbreast 12 Year Old as the benchmark single pot still, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old for sherry cask complexity, Midleton Very Rare for aged prestige, and Teeling Single Grain as an underrated value option. For under €40, Powers Gold Label and Jameson 18 Year Old represent excellent value for their respective categories. The single pot still style using both malted and unmalted barley is Ireland's most distinctive and most rewarding contribution to world whiskey.
Irish whiskey is a legally defined spirit produced on the island of Ireland from a yeast fermented grain mash, distilled to under 94.8% ABV, and matured for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The five recognised styles are single malt, single grain, single pot still, blended, and blended malt. Triple distillation, used by the majority of Irish producers, and the use of a proportion of unmalted barley in the single pot still style are the defining technical characteristics of the category.
