Craft Irish Whiskey
A journey that has seen the coming together of the greatest exponents of the whiskey craft to rediscover old secrets and invoke the new.
FREEDOM TO EXPERIMENT
While we respect tradition, we’re not bound by the shackles of an establishment. We’re free to question the accepted methods and to discover better ways. We’re led by the craftsmanship of the old whiskey masters, but we’ve used the scientific knowledge of today to adapt and perfect the whiskey-making art.
BARREL CRAFT
While the majority of whiskeys are put in a 200 litre barrel and left alone in a warehouse for the duration of the maturation period, we do things differently. Just like the old whiskey masters of 150 years ago, we craft, watch, taste, adjust.
By under-filling our barrels the alchemy of wood, spirit and oxidation begins at once, triggering maturation from day one. This allows the whiskey to take on far greater complexity, smoothness, and viscosity over the same period of time as a barrel filled to the brim.
ADDING WATER BEFORE MATURATION AND BEFORE FINISHING
In the mass-produced market, water is added after maturation. But a whiskey from The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. is different. Most other whiskeys emerge from the barrel at a higher ABV and are then diluted to a palatable strength. In so doing, the complex spectrum of flavours and rich viscosity are dulled.
