Ballyhoo Irish Whiskey 750ml

We buy the very best four-year-old Irish grain whiskey, which has a mash bill of 93% corn and 7% malted barley and bring it to our distillery in County Mayo. We re-barrel it in once used port barrels for at least three months. It is not chill filtered, so we can preserve the smooth easy taste. The fresh grain whiskey slowly picks up the color and sweetness of the port, giving it a gentle but sweet nose with some appealing vanilla notes and floral bouquet. Finally, we hand bottle it on site at the distillery. Fun, bright and festive, Ballyhoo Irish Whiskey is made for celebrations. Ballyhoo is an exclamation of triumph over the rival team. A rallying cry between lifelong friends. A toast to a difficult journey or a hard-fought victory. A celebration of the now. Raise a glass of this Irish whiskey to exuberant moments that become enduring memories. Ballyhoo! Producer The Connacht Whiskey Company Ltd. is the result of a dream shared by four men, three Americans and one Irishman, to bring pure pot still Irish whiskey back to the West of Ireland after an absence of over 100 years. These men share bonds of family and friendship. They also share a respect of heritage and a commitment to Connacht, one of the most natural and unspoiled regions of Ireland. Like many Irish-Americans, the Stapletons were eager to reconnect with family in Ireland. Over tea one afternoon in an Irish B & B, the American Stapletons found cousins who had chosen to remain in Ireland. Both families, on either side of the Atlantic, had flourished. Recognizing that no Irish companies were making Irish whiskey, the Stapletons decided that the Irish deserved to have their own distillery and that Americans needed more choices in what Irish whiskey they could buy in the U. S. They decided to build an independently-owned Irish distillery that would produce craft products of the finest order. They realised, however, that they needed more expertise in craft distilling, marketing, and sales to make their dream a reality, so they reached out to friends. Two friends joined them to make the dream a reality. The first friend was an award-winning master distiller who had won numerous international gold medals and also custom designed stills. The second friend had over thirty years experience in the complicated U. S. spirits industry. That friend’s mother happened to have been born and raised in County Sligo, 30 minutes from the distillery. This is the dream of four men who combine the best of what it means to be Irish and American.
