As the seasons change so do our drink preferences. Woolly jumpers and raincoats turn our thoughts from Aperols and lagers to something a little stronger and shorter. Leather armchairs, open fires, long rainy nights, and golden leaves outside our windows bring that amber goodness into the forefront of our minds. Now us here at the Celtic Whiskey Shop are champions of the year-round whiskey, but even we can’t deny there is a certain magic of a dram of whiskey on an autumn eve. With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of Irish whiskeys, hand-selected by our whiskey specialists on-site, that we feel are best to ring in the changing of the leaves.
So, whether you're a whiskey novice and looking to dip your toe, or a whiskey pro - we think there’s an option here for everyone. Enjoy!
The Gael Batch 3 is an edition of 1860 bottles of the flagship offering from J.J. Corry. This juice bomb of a whiskey is bursting with whitestone fruits, enduring lime notes, and a lingering finish with an ubiquitous mouth feel. Overall, this is a classic Irish whiskey and a fantastic display of blended malt and grain whiskey.

An exciting new release from Powerscourt Distillery! Fercullen Amarone Cask Finish was distilled from corn and malt and first matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in Amarone casks. Grain barrels from 2010, 2011, and 2012 were skilfully blended in equal parts, creating the perfect harmony and balance from competing influences of bourbon, oak, and Amarone in this mellow whiskey. Silky soft texture from the first sip, with warming honey and cinnamon sweetness, fruit cocktail notes, and a dash of light chocolate on the finish.
ABV: 46% | €80.00
