Jack Ryan Beggars Bush 'The Bourdega' 15 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey 750ml

Product Description

New World bourbon maturation. Old World sherry finish. Small batch -- 2500 bottles. This premium Jack Ryan Irish whiskey from the Ryan family is a 15 Year Old Single Malt called "The Bourdega". Irish single malt aged in bourbon barrels, finished in sherry casks. Bourbon and Bodega, Bourdega! Irish craft with touches of American aging and Spanish finish. Over the centuries, it seems as though the Irish ventured, emigrated, Soldiered, fled, profiteered and explored all points of the compass. It's not as if bourbon and sherry don't already have Irish connections! Sure didn't Murphys, O'Neals and Garveys find their way to Jerez and enter sherry lore? And what of the McKennas in the American south and their bourbon legacy? Yes indeed, the Bourdega had to be! It closes a circle, is complete in itself, premium Irish single malt resounding today with echoes of Old and New World adventures long ago. Let your imagination take flight from the warm haven of a drop of The Bourdega. Color: deep gold. Aromas: zesty citrus self-introduction, early sherry assertion, apple, orange, honey, cream. Flavors: smooth power and full flavor, instant citrus hit then sherry with honey and cream harmony. Second sip reveals more fruit, nuts and bourbon oak maturity. Fresh apricots. Finish: spicy smoothness with long slide, sherry connotation, oak infused, nutty, persistent fruit. JACK RYAN, Beggars Bush Haddington Road, Dublin If addresses could address, what a tale this one could tell. For this is the address of one of the great public houses of Dublin. Beggars Bush, built in 1803 (the year Europe decided they had quite enough of Napoleon Bonaparte). For over a hundred years now, Kack Ryan & Family have been proprietors of this wonderful watering hole. The family served their first customer just as Europe was considering another 'Great War.' And what customers they were. They were poets. They were ladies of the night. They were rebels with fire in their souls and guns on their arm. They were soldiers on tenterhooks, resided in their Barracks close by. Jack Ryan's customers lived life. And they knew their whiskey. And Jack Ryan knew they knew. He served up a single malt that was as characterful as the times he lived in. One hundred years later, we like to think of JACK RYAN BEGGARS BUSH SINGLE MALT as a fitting reflection of those times that are etched into poetry, song and story. We invite you now, to enjoy 'a ball' of Jack's finest. An Irish whiskey that's an original, for JACK RYAN BEGGARS BUSH SINGLE MALT is distilled and matured in ex-bourbon barrels to deliver a unique taste, a well balanced, smooth, sweet and fruity palate with a long, malty oak finish. Savour it. And you'll have some tale to tell.
