craft whiskey

This selection includes craft whiskeys from Ireland, Speyside (Scotland), and the United States.

Common suggestions are: neat (to enjoy the full profile), on the rocks or with a splash of water (to open aromas), and as ingredients in classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or beer-based shandies like an IPA shandy.

Highlighted techniques include triple distillation, maturation in multiple wood types or finishing casks, small-batch hand blending, and traditional handcrafted production methods.

ABV values in the selection range from about 40% to 50% (examples include 40.0%, 43.0%/43%, 43.3%, and 50.0%). Corresponding proof values span roughly from 80 to 100 (examples include 80, 86, 86.6, and 100).

Barrel techniques described include finishing in port wine, IPA‑seasoned barrels, rum and Oloroso sherry casks, transfers between ex‑bourbon and sherry wood, and general ageing in oak or American white oak barrels.

Reported tasting notes include citrus and spice (including grapefruit), vanilla and caramel/maple syrup, nutty or toasted-nut flavors, fruity notes, oak and light smoke, honey, bitter chocolate, and hop character from some barrel finishes.

The premixed cocktail is a 375 mL ready-to-drink bottle at 86 proof (43% Alc/Vol). It’s pre-batched and barrel-finished with an additional three-month finish, made from straight rye and straight bourbon plus sugar and bitters, yields about six cocktails per bottle, and is noted as vegan in the product details.
