This release marks the first bottling under The Dead Rabbit’s “Spirits of Ireland” brand, centered around Director of Irish Whiskey, Mark McLaughlin’s close relationships with brands and distilleries across the country. They set out to conceptualize and execute collaborations that will further the depth of flavor in their Irish whiskey selection at The Dead Rabbit NYC, and across future TDR venues nationwide.
