Distilled right after the millennium, in 2001, and matured in American oak bourbon barrels for its first 21 years, this superior single malt was further matured for an additional 12 months in tawny port barrels from sunny Portugal\u2019s Douro Valley. Bottled at cask strength at an ABV of 49.43% and non-chill filtered, each bottle is numbered and presented in an elegant leather case. The recommended retail price is \u20ac500.<\/p>\n

Through The Irishman portfolio, Walsh Whiskey continues to push the boundaries in its goal to broaden out the taste profile of Irish Single Malt. The Irishman 22-Year-Old Single Malt is the first ever double-distilled expression in The Irishman range. Double distillation was a distillation style prevalent in Ireland centuries ago and The Irishman seeks to learn from the past to explore and challenge what Irish single malt means today, doing so through distillation methods, age, maturation and cask finishing.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the oldest aged-stated whiskey and first ever double-distilled whiskey in The Irishman range, Walsh Whiskey\u2019s Managing Director, Bernard Walsh said: \u201cI am delighted to have been able to source and finish this rare whiskey to my own taste. It takes The Irishman portfolio, which is dedicated to being single malt-led, to new ground. I know that the discerning clientele of The Loop in Dublin and Cork will savour the opportunity to experience and perhaps even share some of it with the best of friends and family.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
