The Irishman 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey was launched in 2013, and demand has been high. But due to the limitations of being a smaller production house, only 6000 bottles of the 12 YO Single Malt are being made each year. This is accomplished by hand-selecting the best casks from inventory and giving them extra time to rest. Both of their Single Malts are triple distilled ? as Irish Whiskey should be ? and aged in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks without chill filtration. Upon initial release it was an instant classic, winning Gold and Best in Class at the International Spirits Challenge.
