The long awaited second single cask Irish whiskey naggin from Redacted has arrived. This exceptional release from Boann Distillery captures an early but remarkable chapter from one of the most progressive new distilleries shaping modern Irish whiskey.
Distilled using a traditional single pot still mash bill of 50% malted and 50% unmalted barley, this whiskey represents the revival of a quintessential Irish style, reinterpreted with precision and intent. At just 5 years old, it is among the oldest liquid currently released from the distillery, offering a rare opportunity to experience the developing house character at a meaningful stage of maturation.
The defining feature of this release is its exceptional oak. The whiskey was initially matured in a Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux wine barrel, notably from estates such as Château Mouton Rothschild, before being transferred into a rejuvenated French oak NEOC cask crafted from Quercus Petraea oak sourced from the legendary Forêt de Tronçais.
This was no ordinary cask. Each stave was hand shaved, the cask was reassembled and toasted for 90 minutes to the edge of carbonation, with shaved and toasted heads added back. The result delivers both the depth of prior wine influence and the vibrancy of newly activated oak.
Forêt de Tronçais oak is widely regarded as one of the finest coopering woods in the world, prized for its exceptionally tight grain, refined tannins, and elegant spice profile. In whiskey maturation this translates to balance, precision, structure, and longevity rather than overpowering oak influence.
This is a Single Cask Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey aged for 5 years and bottled at 42.5% ABV in a 200ml naggin format. Non chill filtered with no added colour, each bottle is a unique snapshot of where the distillery has been and where it is heading.

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.
