Keeper's Heart Ages Up With 32-Year-Old

Keeper’s Heart is proud to introduce its most exclusive release to date, its 32-Year-Old Irish Single Malt.Originally distilled at the Cooley Distillery and crafted from 100% malted barley, the expression, at 109.8 proof, was hand-selected in 2020 by Keeper’s Heart Master Distiller Brian Nation, before the Keeper’s Heart distillery opened its doors in Minneapolis. With only one barrel available, this ultra-limited expression will launch this month.What makes it interesting is a subtle signature of peat—not from the mashbill, but from the history of the pot stills used to distill it. “The pot stills had once been used for peated whiskey and were never fully cleaned,” said Keeper’s Heart Master Distiller Brian Nation. “That faint wisp of smoke became a beautiful and unexpected part of this whiskey’s identity.”“Every whiskey we release tells a story—but this one is a legend,” added Patrick O’Shaughnessy, Keeper’s Heart Co-founder. “It’s a tribute to the roots we honor and the rare moments we create.”Keeper’s Heart 32-Year-Old Irish Single Malt will retail for $2,499.

Two Stacks Bets On Single Grain

Two Stacks makes its first offering in the Irish Grain Whiskey category with its Single Grain Double Barrel.Through importer Foley Family Wines & Spirits, Two Stacks is always on the hunt for traditional Irish whiskeys that they can make their own. Two Stacks Single Grain Double Barrel showcases the versatility and refinement of Irish Grain Whiskey, a traditional style of whiskey most often used as a blending component.The expression starts with a mashbill of 94% maize and 6% Irish malted barley. The technical file for Irish Grain Whiskey requires that it is produced with malted barley (not exceeding 30%) and includes un-malted cereal grains, in this case corn. The distillate is first aged for 3-5 years in former bourbon barrels, followed by 1-3 years in Oloroso sherry casks, both in a traditional Irish rickhouse on the Cooley Peninsula.“I think a lot of folks in Ireland thought we were mad when we told them we were coming out with an Irish Grain Whiskey,” said Two Stacks Co-Founder Liam Brogan. “We were confident with the right blend and aging/finishing we could produce something rather sophisticated and unexpected that honored the legacy of this workhorse stalwart in Irish whiskey history.”While not as historically entrenched as the famed Single Pot Still whiskeys of the 18th and 19th centuries, the single grain style gained momentum with the advent of column stills in the mid-1800s. However, it wasn’t until the establishment of Cooley Distillery in 1987 and The Great Northern Distillery in 2015 (both founded by John Teeling, David Hynes, and Jim Finn) that the style came into its own in modern Ireland. The whiskey from those distilleries is blended and bonded for this bottling.Two Stacks Single Grain Double Barrel is available in both a 100 ml Dram in a Can and a 700 ml sustainable bottle made from 100% recycled glass for $6.99 and $44.99, respectively.

Hawk's Rock Takes Flight With Garavogue

Hawk’s Rock Distillery, Sazerac's recently acquired Irish whiskey distillery, has just announced its inaugural release, Garavogue 20 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey.Crafted by Master Blender Helen Mulholland, the first female Master Blender in Irish Whiskey history, the expression is named after the river that flows past the distillery through Sligo town into the Atlantic Ocean. Double-distilled and initially aged for a minimum of 14 years in ex-bourbon American oak casks, the whiskey was then transferred into a variety of finishing casks including French Muscat, French Sauternes, Spanish Pedro Ximénez Sherry and Barbadian Rum casks for further maturation. The result is a 94 proof whiskey that embodies Sazerac’s dedication to world class distillation, aging and blending.“The current trend is for whiskey to have a rich sherry finish, but Garavogue is purposefully different,” says Hawk’s Rock Distillery Master Blender Helen Mulholland. “We believe that complexity and subtlety can work hand in hand. It is unusual for a whiskey to be blended with this number and variety of casks, but just as the river ebbs and flows, the flavors create a wonderful blend as they weave together in this 20-year-old single malt.”Garavogue is a small-batch release and will experimental in nature, exploring different ages, maturation techniques and possibly even different types of Irish whiskey. Release #1 is housed in a distinctive reversed crescent shape bottle with a blue label reflecting the Garavogue River’s influence including subtle wave patterns that mirror the motion of water. The label also features imagery and coordinates for the Hazelwood House Windmill – an enduring landmark on the grounds of Hawk’s Rock – in tribute to the historical figures who lived and worked along Garavogue’s banks.“We hope that Garavogue Whiskey invites Irish Whiskey fans to linger, explore and uncover the hidden stories of Sligo,” remarks Jess Scheerhorn, Vice President at Sazerac. “The Garavogue River shaped this beautiful landscape for millenniums, and Garavogue Irish Whiskey aims to shape new experiences, connections and traditions – one sip at a time.”Hawk’s Rock Distillery's Garavogue Whiskey will begin rolling out in limited quantities this month for $199.
