Detailed Description
Connacht Whiskey Company launched Brothership in time for St. Patrick’s Day 2017. The whiskey is a celebration of two sister distilleries, Connacht Distillery in Ballina, Ireland, and New Liberty Distillery, in Philadelphia. Master distiller Robert Cassell blended sourced 10-year-old Irish pot-still whiskey with sourced 10 year-old American whiskey, at a 52% to 48% ratio, for the release, and bottled the result at 45% ABV.
Brothership 10 Year Old Irish-American Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose is floral, with honey, hay, citrus zest, and spice.
Palate: The palate begins with toffee and fudge, moving to clover honey, along with chewy, dried fruits. There’s also more spicy zest, oak, and a touch of mint.
Finish: A relatively quick finish shifts in the hot and dry direction, before ending with bitter cacao and milk chocolate.
Distillery Information
