Tasting Notes:#1. Green Spot Irish Whiskey - this single pot still Irish whiskey is made with up to 30% unmalted barley, aged for 7-10 years in a variety of new and used bourbon barrels with some sherry barrels as well. The blend is powerfully flavorful with malt, fruit, cereal and citrus all pinging off the charts. #2. Bushmill's 10yr Single Malt represents the "malt" style whiskey which is made extensively in Ireland as well as an offering from the north part of the island. This is the chewiest, maltiest, citrus inflected of the bunch and has always been a sleeper hit in my opinion, tons of juicy grape-like flavors as well. #3. Jameson Irish whiskey is the best selling Irish whiskey by millions of cases, but that doesn't make if bland or bad. In fact, it's fully flavored, but with an approachability that has made in inextricably into a shot brand. Oh well, it's just darn good. Honey rich with a touch of sherry influence and a grainy sweetness that persists.

Dan Dunn is in studio at the top of Part 2, and he tells the gang about hurting his back after a snowboarding accident. Dan then brings out a handful of Irish Whiskies for a live taste test, in honor of St. Paddy's Day. Later, Dan tells the gang about a disturbing ‘skin tag' he came across. In the last part of the show, Gina reads news stories about Elon Musk vs. Vladimir Putin, the death of William Hurt, more on Bob Saget's mysterious death, and Dolly Parton's decision to withdraw her name from the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame nominations.

An American distillery with Irish heritage in its veins, O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company has engaged a modern legendary distiller of  Irish Whiskey to grow a product line which embraces the best of both whiskey worlds. Combining a classic American Rye with two Irish Whiskies, Master Distiller Brian Nation is looking to put Minnesota on the world whiskey map. The O'Shaughnessy Family convinced Brian to leave an established and world-renowned Irish distillery to perfect his own passion project.  Brian explains why he made this massive leap in his career in this episode, but in the words of Brian's mother, “What's for you, won't go by you.”  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.  We were honored to have Brian on the Bourbon Lens podcast.  Download this episode on your favorite podcast player by clicking here.  We are thankful for everyone who has supported us.

Cheers,Scott, Jake, & MichaelBourbon Lens   About Keeper's Heart - O'Shaughnessy Distilling The Story O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company was founded with a belief that the spirit of family and friends, and our shared experiences together, provide us with deep connection and meaning in our lives. Our whiskey was created to celebrate the spirit of family, support our community, and leave a meaningful legacy for generations to come. We believe that the spirit of family is the strongest positive force in the world, and we are committed to celebrating the moments worth keeping. Several years ago, cousins Patrick and Michael O'Shaughnessy, along with Michael's father Gerry, were sharing a bottle of whiskey at the end of a long and joyous day at an O'Shaughnessy family reunion. They were reflecting on the importance of family; on how to make sure future generations stayed connected; and the legacy they wanted to leave. As conversation went deeper into the night and more whiskey was poured, they had a realization: the answer was right there in the glass. It was at that point they set out to create a whiskey that celebrated their Irish American heritage and the cousins set off to Ireland. They sent a chance email to whom they considered the finest Master Distiller in the world - Brian Nation – and much to their surprise, Brian responded and a meeting in Dublin was put on the books. That 30-minute meeting turned into a 5-hour meal as Michael, Patrick, Brian, and his wife Una, created an immediate connection. A new family was forming, and a vision was emerging: to blend the best of Irish and American whiskey traditions to create something entirely new. The  Distillery The team set out to make their vision a reality, and while they procured some of the finest stocks of aged whiskey, they knew they needed to make their own. They needed a place where Brian, the legendary Master Distiller responsible for making some of the most renowned products on the market, could fulfill his desire to innovate and push the category beyond expectations. They began creating the O'Shaughnessy Distillery in an old potato factory right in the heart of their hometown of Minneapolis. At the heart of the world-class distillery are three beautiful copper pot stills, the key to making Irish style whiskey. The distillery opened to the public in Summer 2021 and boasts a guided education tour, a tasting room, multiple bar areas, private spaces for events, food service, and outdoor patio seating. The distillery is destined to become a home away from home for all whiskey lovers. The 30,000 square foot distillery houses more than 15,000 square feet dedicated entirely to the whiskey making process, including the signature component: three wondrous copper pot stills (SHOW NOTE: 8000 Liter Wash Still, 6000 Liter Feints Still, 6000 Liter Spirits Still or approximately 2113 Gallon Wash Still, 1585 Gallon Feints Still, and 1585 Gallon Spirits Still). The remainder of the distillery is comprised of the Keeper's Heart Whiskey Lounge, featuring unique shared spaces for people to come together and enjoy. From our Main Bar centered around our three copper pot stills, our Potato Bar, paying homage to our building's history and our Irish American heritage as well as our outdoor Spirits Garden and Rooftop Terrace.  The  Whiskey From this vision, team and place, Keeper's Heart Irish American Whiskey was born. Steeped in passion, dedicated to quality and committed to creating the moments worth keeping, Keeper's Heart is the first whiskey to blend the best of Irish and American traditions. At Keeper's Heart, we believe that time is the most important ingredient in making great whiskey but also great relationships. Time spent with loved ones, family, and friends who are considered family. Conversations that go weirdly deep, that end in laughter, tears of joy and rich meaning. Those are the moments worth keeping. That is why we lift our glass to you and toast with our family motto: Fugit Hora, the hour flies. Keeper's Heart Irish American Whiskey is launching summer 2021, with Master Distiller Brian Nation showcasing the art of blending hand selected pot still and grain whiskies from Ireland with an American Rye Whiskey to create a truly unique liquid. At the same time, we're also developing our own liquid made from 100% American grains in the traditional Irish style, using a triple copper pot still – while the tasting profile will remain consistent this will also allow us to constantly evolve and experiment with different styles of whiskies. We are so proud of the partners we are working with to create this one-of-a-kind liquid and can't wait for everyone to try it! Our first expression highlights the Irish whiskey's notes of baking spices which pair beautifully with the American whiskey's sweetness and lingering notes of charred oak. Keeper's Heart offers a unique membership program, Cask Society, which provides whiskey fans with the opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind barrel.

Our Logo Every element of our logo was carefully considered to tell a part of our story: Keeper's  Represents our desire to cherish the important elements of life: loved ones, time, traditions. It is also our tip of the cap to that community whose mission is to serve: the world's barkeepers. The Heart Everything we do comes from the heart, with passion and honesty. We also always carefully select the heart of the distillation. The Keep Traditionally every castle has a Keep—the innermost sanctum where the family's most prized possessions are kept. Our Keep represents the specialness of the liquid created by Master Distiller Brian Nation. The Clock Represents the specialness of time spent together and a reminder from the family to enjoy every moment. The Keys Your invitation from the family to join ours. We look forward to unlocking experiences together. Fugit Hora: “The Hour Flies” slow down and enjoy every moment. It's our family motto and a celebration of the most important ingredient—time. Keeper's Heart Irish + American Whiskey Keeper's Heart Whiskey is the passion project of Master Distiller Brian Nation.  Aiming to combine the best of Irish and American whiskey traditions, Keeper's Heart is a blend of Irish Triple Pot distilled whiskey, Irish Grain Whiskey and American Rye.  The liquid pairs the Irish whiskey's notes of baking spices with the American whiskey's sweetness and lingering notes of charred oak. Nation collaborated on the blending of the liquid with Liquid Collaborator and Advisor, David Perkins, founder of High West Distillery. Perkins will continue to work closely alongside Brian Nation as the two explore and create new innovations in Whiskey. “I can't wait for everyone to try what has truly become my biggest passion project,” shared Brian Nation, Master Distiller at O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company. “To create a truly new and unique style of whiskey is a dream come true for any distiller and I can't wait to continue experimenting and innovating with such a great team.” “Our ambition is to put Keeper's Heart on the world whiskey map, creating a brand with a global reach that is rooted in our hometown of Minneapolis and embodies our Irish American heritage”, said Mike Duggan, CEO of O'Shaughnessy Distilling Co.

Does the price of whiskey really mean it tastes better? We blind taste 3 different Irish Whiskies. One is cheap, one is mid-range, and one is expensive (at least for my wallet). Listen to find out how they rank! Disclaimer: I love drinking all three and would definitely recommend all three!!

Co-owner and Brand Manager, Donal O'Gallachoir, joins Pedro in the Whiskey Society this week to chat about Glendalough, an Irish Whiskey helping leading the charge in this new wave of Irish Whiskies that are coming to America.--From The Glendalough Website:The Glendalough Distillery was set up by a group of friends from Wicklow and Dublin with a passion for reviving the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland. In the 18th & 19th centuries there were over 200 licensed distilleries in Ireland and along with countless unlicensed ones produced diverse styles of poitín, whiskey, gin and even absinthe. Until recently that dropped to a small handful. After many an evening's banter and debate over why there weren't more craft distilleries in the birthplace of distilling, the friends convinced each other to leave the safety of their day jobs, head into the mountains and take a chance on something more meaningful (much like the man on the bottle, St Kevin). Together they built a craft distillery near their favourite spot in those mountains, Glendalough.Whiskey & Wood:A key influence on the flavour of our whiskey comes from the wood it has spent time in. There are countless nuances in how that wood effects and injects flavour, from the straightness of the tree or fineness of the grain to the size of the barrel or depth of the char. Somewhere between a lot, and most of the dominant flavours in whiskey come from the wood it has spent time in.There are countless nuances in how that wood effects flavour, from the straightness of the tree or fineness of the grain to the size of the barrel or depth of the char.Two of the main factors in how we choose our wood are: the breed of oak (where the wood is from), and the predecessor liquid (if it's a pre-loved barrel, what's been in it).As with most Irish whiskeys, ours matures in Bourbon barrels. But where we break with tradition is that we finish all of our whiskeys in a second, very different cask. These are selected especially to accentuate the flavours already inherent in a given whiskey.AMERICAN BOURBON BARRELSAs mentioned, our whiskeys do the bulk of their time in first-fill American white oak Bourbon barrels. These 200 litre casks lay the flavour foundation that has become the backbone of the Irish whiskey taste.Felled in Missouri at about 80 years old, they are milled, seasoned and coopered in Kentucky and filled with Bourbon.American oak casks impart a lot of flavour. Besides the fact that they've held Bourbon before we get them, the charred wood truly transforms new-make Irish whiskey. We use a level 4 "alligator char" which really brings the wood alive in terms of flavour.This adds that charcoal mellowness, the sweetness of vanilla and caramel that perfectly compliment the flavours already present in the spirit. They bring to the whiskey a beautiful golden hue, and smoothen it to a creamy mouth-feel.However we're always seeking out new flavours, the best oak around the world and other interesting casks.SPANISH OLOROSO SHERRY CASKSTo finish our Double Barrel, we use 500 litre Oloroso sherry butts made from European oak, felled in the ancient deciduous forests of Northern Spain. A tree must be about 120 years old before it's good for barrel making.The casks are lightly toasted rather than charred. So we get clearer wood flavours. Then there's the Oloroso. A dark, fruity and nutty fortified wine from Montillo, Spain, the Oloroso that seasons our casks is made from the famed Pedro Ximenez grape. After about 2 years of holding Oloroso, we then inspect and choose the casks.The intense flavours they bring get into our whiskey fast. Raisins, sultanas, candied peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Christmas pudding are all clearly discernible in the whiskey within 6 months, as the liquid turns from gold to amber.DUBLIN PORTER BARRELSFor our 7 year old single malt, it's Dublin porter barrels. Although these barrels are also ex-bourbon, they become a different beast once craft porter spends a year in them.We use barrels from the 5 Lamps brewery in Dublin. Their "Black Pitts Porter" is a rich, black beer with deep, dark flavours. Made with chocolate malt and roasted barley, the porter is rich and creamy with complex aromas and a smooth velvety texture.All of this gets into the oak and comes back out into our whiskey to accentuate the robust malts of both liquids. Flavours of cocoa from the porter mix with the citrus notes of the whiskey to result in dark chocolate orange flavours, with toffee and even coffee notes on the finish. It's an unusual and noticeably different whiskey, that you want to return to, often.JAPANESE MIZUNARA BARRELSFor our 13 year old single malt, it's the legendary Mizunara oak. Found in forests on the rugged, volcanic island of Hokkaido, the wood is very soft and porous with a tight grain, which is good for flavour but hard to cooper and prone to leaking. It has very high levels of vanillins that impart luxurious woody flavours fast.Ours is then brought to the south of Japan to air dry in Miyzaki before coopering at Japan's only independent cooperage. Here we personally inspect the wood before it's worked by Japan's oldest cooper. The casks are lightly charred and shipped as virgin barrels over 6,000 miles to us.Mizunara packs a punch of unique, exotic and exquisite woody flavours. Some say sandalwood, we'd agree, but that's just the beginning. It amplifies flavour and brings the mouth-feel to velvety proportions, it layers on extra vanilla, honey and even coconut.It makes for a pretty unique take on Irish whiskeyIRISH OAKProbably the rarest of all casks is Irish Oak. Before Ireland was known as "the emerald isle", it was known through out the old world as "the wooded isle". They say a squirrel could cross the whole country touching nothing but oak.In particular, Glendalough oak was famed for boat building as far back as Viking times (The largest Viking ship ever built was "The Sea Stallion of Glendalough"). Even the mountains that cradle the valley are named for the oak forests that covered them - Camaderry Mountain (Sliabh Céim an Doire, meaning "the mountain pass of the oak wood") and Derrybawn Mountain (Sliabh Doire Ban, meaning "the mountain of white oak")We're very excited and proud to play a part in bringing Irish oak back into use for aging Irish whiskey, helping to manage these ancient forests, and doing our bit for the regeneration of these beautiful, broad-leaf, deciduous woods.We are sourcing trees from within walking distance of the distillery to get to a truer taste of Wicklow Whiskey, using Wicklow barley and Wicklow water. We are a little while away from releasing liquid from this great experiment, but watch this space, it will be sooner than you think!glendaloughdistillery.com--What we drank:Glendalough Double Barrel Irish WhiskeyGlendalough Black Pitts Single Malt (Aged 7 Years)Glendalough Mizunara Cask Finish Single Malt (Aged 13 Years)--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety--Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

2017 St. Patrick's Day Erin Go Bragh Whiskey Tasting Maneuvers with Sommelier Dave and Mixologist Jenna. We sample 12 Irish Whiskies along with some beer and cocktails to help you prepare for St. Patrick's Day on the 17th.

This week, we're in Ireland for the debut of the new Method And Madness range of Irish Whiskies from Irish Distillers. The name comes from the collaboration between Midleton's veteran masters and their apprentices, and it gives us a chance to catch up on Killian O'Mahony's story. In September of 2013, we first met Killian shortly after he became Ireland's first apprentice cooper in decades under the tutelage of Midleton Master Cooper Ger Buckley. Nearly four years later, his training is nearly complete, and we'll hear from both apprentice and master on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Scotch Whisky exports rose in 2016 after three years of declines, with single malt exports reaching an all-time record. One of Scotland's largest trade unions is worried about the future of those exports after Brexit, and is demanding the British government protect the whisky industry's jobs after the UK leaves the European Union. We'll also have a sneak preview of the Old Jameson Distillery in Dublin, which is about to reopen after months of renovation with a new focus...and a new name.

This week on The Sipping Point Radio we are gearing up for St Patrick’s Day with John Resuing of Bad Decisions. We’ll taste 2 of his favorite Irish Whiskies and he’ll introduce us to a special St Patrick’s Day cocktail he created especially for us on The Sipping Point. The post Irish Whisky for St Patrick’s Day appeared first on Laurie Forster | Wine Expert | Wine Coach | Wine Speaker.
