Bushmill's Red Bush is an all ex-Bourbon cask release put out by one of the original, or THE original as they say, Irish Whiskey distillers. Like most of what Bushmill's makes, at least by volume, it's a blend of single malt and single grain just without the few sherry casks they use to make their well known Bushmill's White Label or Black Bush

History of the Jameson Black Barrel Established in the Irish capital city of Dublin by John Jameson in 1780, the Jameson Whiskey brand is one of the world's oldest distilleries and whiskey brands to have endured for centuries.

With the strong Irish-American heritage in South Boston, it's only right that Grand Ten Distilling have released a South Boston Irish Whiskey. It is distilled in Ireland and bottled in South Boston, which, y'know, makes the name rather apt, don't you think?

The Dubliner is an Irish Whiskey launched in June 2015 as the Spirit of The City – a city steeped in over 1,000 years of history and renowned for its rich culture, distinctive character and vibrant personality. The Dubliner bottles this character, known in Ireland as the craic.

The origins of Tullamore D.E.W. date back to 1829, when a distillery was established in Tullamore by Michael Molloy. On his death, the distillery eventually passed to his nephew, Bernard Daly who later appointed Daniel E. Williams as the distillery's General Manager. Under Williams's watchful eye, the distillery expanded and prospered, launching the whiskey bearing his initials (D.E.W.), Tullamore D.E.W..

When the lads started out, it made very little economic sense to open a distillery, but the McCarthy cousins were eager for a change in career and there was a tradition of distilling in the O'Connell family. John came from a long line of distillers – albeit the illegal variety. His father came from Coppeen in the Coolea Mountains, the poitin heartland of west Cork, where many families ran their own stills. With that bit of knowledge, the lads set about making spirits. 

Distilling began in a small room at the back of Den's house in 2003 and it wasn't until 2014 that the operation moved to Market Street in Skibbereen. As the business expanded, much of the distillery equipment was hand built as needed, such as the Rocket, reported to be 'the fastest still in the world' at the time. In 2020, the new distillery at Marsh Road, Skibbereen will open, making us the largest, wholly Irish owned distillery in the country.

Writer's Tears finds inspiration in the 19th and early 20th century, when Ireland was a golden era both for Irish whiskey and, perhaps coincidentally, for great Irish novelists, poets and playwrights—George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Bram Stoker, to name but a few.

Bushmills is the oldest licensed distillery in Ireland, with a history that dates back to 1608 when King James I granted a license to Sir Thomas Phillips to distill whiskey in the area of the River Bush in County Antrim in what is today Northern Ireland. Whiskey has been distilled in the area since at least the 13th century, when an Irish general supposedly held a drinking session before going into battle with his troops. Bushmills itself was not officially founded until 1784, and the distillery building was constructed in 1885 and has been making the famed whiskey ever since. Today, the distillery is owned by Jose Cuervo, reflecting the growing international demand for Irish whiskey and the increasing global dominance of Irish businesses.

The Dead Rabbits were a notorious Irish immigrant street gang whose sworn enemies were the nativist anti-immigrant Bowery Boys. Their antagonism came to a head in a notorious riot that raged for days in 1857. Up to a thousand gang members were involved before order was finally restored. The leader of the Dead Rabbits was John Morrissey, a notorious figure who would later go on to become a Democratic congressman and senator.

Green Spot is a 100% pure pot still whiskey that can trace its roots to the early 1900s, when Jamesons sold whiskey to wine merchants Mitchell & Son. In those days it was common practice for wine merchants and publicans to bottle their own whiskey but sell it under the distiller's brand name.

For Caskmates they took Jameson Original and finished it in stout-seasoned whiskey barrels from Irish microbrewery Franciscan Well.

In 1966, Mark Edwin Andrews purchased Knappogue Castle, a 15th century castle in Ireland, which was then in ruins. He and his wife, a prominent architect, then embarked on an ambitious program of restoration, in an effort to return the structure to its original state of glory and grandeur. It was around this time that Andrews began buying casks of fine pot still whiskey
from top distilleries in the country. The casks were further aged and bottled under what is now the Knappogue Castle label.

In a country that not only cherishes its whiskey but celebrates it, being the most popular whiskey speaks for itself. Powers Gold Label, with its mildly spicy pot-still character, has become just that. Powers witnesses more consumption of their offering within the country than abroad. The brand gained renewed popularity with their relaunch in 2013. The story of the brand of Powers, however, goes back more than 200 hundred years in time.

The Irishman is the Walsh family's original whiskey and represents the rebirth of the traditional family-owned provincial distilling that thrived during the last golden age of Irish Whiskey in the early 1900s.

This is NOT a flavored whiskey; it is hidden gem. Don't misunderstand the label, this excellent edition is not an apple flavored whiskey. It's merely finished in casks that were formerly used to make cider. The result is an incredibly smooth yet full bodied Irish whiskey. And it is amazingly good stuff!
