Clonakilty Distillery and Garrison Brothers Distillery have teamed for the release of a 7-Year-Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey.
The 7-Year-Old Irish Single Malt enters into the Texas market as a unique fusion of Irish whiskey and Texas bourbon through a collaboration between two distilleries. The expression was initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished for 7-months in Garrison Balmorhea barrels and then bottled at 117 proof.
“The Balmorhea barrels bring a distinct finish to the whiskey compared to what we normally find from American Oak,” says Oisin Mulcahy, Head Distiller of Clonakilty Distillery. “This is due to the wildly different climates that exist in Texas and Clonakilty.”
Separated by 4,500 miles of ocean, these family-run distilleries have joined forces to create a special limited-edition Irish single malt exclusively for the Texas market.
This one time bottling Clonakilty Distillery and Garrison Brothers Distillery’s 7-Year-Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey is now available at select retailers throughout Texas for $69.99.
