Red Earl Blended Irish Whiskey is a combination of ex bourbon-barrelled grain Irish whiskey and ex-sherry triple distilled malt, matured for 45 months and then merged to spend a further minimum period of 4 months in ex-Rioja casks. We chose Rioja for its spicy fruits and as a mark of respect to the resting place of Red Hugh himself near to the Rioja region of Spain.
Signature Serve:
One measure of Red Earl Irish Whiskey, a large glass (1/2 litre or Boston-style is ideal), plenty of ice, 200ml of ginger ale and a generous (give it a squeeze) wedge of orange.
Nose
Subtle hints of cherry, strawberry, rose petal and citrus, layered on top of marzipan, almond and oak notes. Vibrant fruity notes on both the nose and palate.
Colour
The Rioja wine cask imparts a colour reminiscent of a fine Rose wine.
Taste
Taste delivers satisfying blends of toffee, vanilla and toasted almonds. These are complemented by delightful notes of cinnamon and clove, typical of spicy riojas.
Finish
This whiskey has a medium bodied mouthfeel that ends in a long, warm and moreish finish.

40%
