WHISKEY IRISH

HIGH N WICKED IRELAND. COUNTY CORK High N’ Wicked, a small importer and specialty bottler that’s taken home a slew of accolades from the press, including a Top 50 of 2022 from Vinepair. This crew prides itself on distinguishing touches, and their latest – a limited release single grain whiskey selected by the venerated Noel Sweeney, a whiskey world legend, and finished in award winning Foursquare Rum casks – is as richly detailed as a bespoke suit. And let me tell you: a helluva lot more delicious. High N’ Wicked Single Grain Irish Whiskey Foursquare ‘Mark X 2007’ Cask Finish 100PF / 750ML Matured first in Ex-Bourbon Barrels, and then Finished for 6 months in Casks that previously held “Mark X 2007” Barbados Rum from Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados. Aromas of coconut, treacle, lemon peel, almond, nougat, fig, and vanilla - giving way to subtle tropical fruit notes of mango and candied pineapple. The palate, rich and sweet on the open, highlights baking spice notes of clove and cinnamon, immediately followed by rich caramel and candied hazelnuts. It lingers gently and finishes soft with a hint of custard. JOHN L. SULLIVAN IRELAND John L. Sullivan Irish Whiskey shares the namesake sf one of America’s truly iconic figures. As the great John L. Sullivan would have said if you ever came face-to-face with him in the ring. John L. Sullivan Irish Whiskey 80PF / 750ML This bourbon-barrel-finished whiskey is a treat, with a light amber color, caramel and orange peel aroma, and a lingering caramel and spice finish. Soft, smooth, and full-bodied.

PEARSE LYONS IRELAND, DUBLIN At one time, close to 40 distilleries were in operation in Dublin, nestled in a one-mile radius better known as the “Golden Triangle.” The four big distillery players at the time were George Roe and Company, John Power and Son, William Jameson and Company and John Jameson and Son. By the 19th century Irish Whiskey reached global appreciation as it was recognized as the premier whiskey due to its unique taste and smoothness. Today, the Golden Triangle in the heart of The Liberties is making a remarkable revival. Pearse Lyons Distillery is proud to be part of the rejuvenation of this historic area of Dublin city.
