Blackwater Dirtgrain Irish Whiskey 1st Release 4x20cl pack

A special limited first release from Blackwater Distillery that explores the historical mashbills of old. Each of the four whiskeys included is the recreation of a style once made in Ireland and includes different mixes of grains in each bottling. 

Inspired by the historical research by Peter Mulryan over the past decades, these four whiskeys include classic mixes of malted barley, unmalted barley, oats, wheat and rye. These, at the time of the original recipes would have been known by the distillers as pot still whiskey (now expanded to be 'Single Pot Still' whiskey) however due to the modern interpretation of this style they cannot currently be labelled as Single Pot Stills. That is something that will likely change in the coming years however! 

The range here includes 20cl bottles of the following mashbills:

Mashbill #08- Inspired by a 1908 recipe. Made from 50% malted Laureate Barley, 35% Laureate Barley (unmalted) and 15% Husky oats. 

Mashbill #15- Inspired by a 1915 recipe. Made from 40% Laureate Barley (unmalted), 30% malted Laureate Barley, 15% Husky oats, 12% Costello Wheat and 3% Performer Rye. 

Mashbill #25- Inspired by an 1838 recipe. Made from 40% Laureate Barley (unmalted), 40% Costello Wheat and 20% unmalted Gangway and Laureate Barley. 

Mashbill #93- Inspired an 1893 recipe. Made from 46% Laureate Barley (unmalted), 35% Malted Gangway and Laureate Barley, 15% Husky Oats and 4% Peated Laureate Malted Barley.

Each box includes a booklet or Manifesto about Blackwater's intent on redefining the categorisation of single pot still Irish whiskey.
