Grace O’Malley recently announced the launch of its flagship whiskey, Grace O’Malley Blended Irish Whiskey into the U.S. market.
Said to be the first Irish whiskey named after a woman, Grace O’Malley is dedicated to the 16th Century Irish Pirate Queen.
“We are very excited to share the story of Grace O’Malley with the U.S. market through our premium whiskeys,” said Stephen Cope, Founder and Managing Director of Grace O’Malley Spirits. “Far from ordinary like the whiskey itself, Grace O’Malley was a fearless seafarer who broke with the conventions of her time.”
Boasting one of the highest malt contents in the blended whiskey category at 46%, the whiskey is distilled at The Great Northern Distillery. There Grace O’Malley’s Master Blender Paul Caris, together with the master distillers of The Great Northern Distillery, bring their magic to whiskey from distilling to blending and cask management.
This special blend combines whiskies with age statements that range from three to ten years old. Each batch of whiskey is then matured in a range of barrels, including French Oak, ex-Bourbon, and ex-Rum casks, hand-selected by Caris. A former winemaker and Bordeaux-Native, he brings an impeccable palate and years of experience to the brand.
The suggested retail price (SRP) for Grace O’Malley Blended Irish Whiskey is $36.99.
