Grace O'Malley Rum Cask Irish Whiskey - 70cl (Packaging may vary)

Product Information

Finish: The finish was shorter than I'd hoped for. It was a lovely blend of toasted oak, vanilla, pink peppercorn, and date.

A few years later, Grace O’Malley is one of the established names in Irish whiskey, one of the most awarded spirits of recent years and finds friends in over 23 countries.

This has put Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta in pole position to take advantage. The only thing it doesn’t have right now, however, is a distillery. “You can go one of two ways when setting up a whiskey company,” Clancy explains. “You put huge investment into a distillery, but to get your brand up and running you’re still going to source whiskey in the initial phase, or you can go to an external supplier and start that way.” Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta did the latter, with a distillery and visitor centre to come further down the line. “We’ll set up in Mayo with this great story of Grace O’Malley behind it, but that will take some time I’m afraid,” Clancy says. Instead, Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta took the interesting step of creating an exclusive partnership with Great Northern Distillery. It’s a case of Irish whiskey’s secret giant teaming up with its greatest secret weapon, as the distillery is a superb and consistent producer without its own named brand. In fact, the name people will associate with most is that of its founder, John Teeling, the man who made history in 1987 with Cooley, the first new Irish whiskey distillery in a century, before selling it to Beam Suntory.

Bottle, Bar, or Bust: It is admittedly difficult to dislike Irish whiskey. That's not to say there aren't mediocre examples, but Irish whiskey is known for being smooth and easy to sip. I enjoyed my pour of Grace O'Malley. There was more going on with this than I expected. I would have preferred a longer finish, but that only means it gets sipped faster. I'm lobbing my Bottle rating at this one, I'm betting it will make you happy, too. Cheers!

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Given one of the fears within Irish whiskey is that there isn’t enough of it to meet demand, it’s a sage bit of strategy. Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta has set up a bulk whiskey company, selling whiskey to domestic and internation al producers, with customers ranging from bars in the United States to Japanese blenders. There’s also Good Spirits Bottling, a blending, bottling, and maturation facility in Dundalk, just 10 minutes from Great Northern Distillery. Father died in 1565, and as the only child it fell to me to lead the O’Malley fleet. Of course, I could never be official Chieftain – God forbid an enterprising woman be recognised for her achievements! – but I held power all the same. And let me tell you, it took some holding on to. Not a year after father passed the MacMahon’s killed my man Hugh de Lacy. I’d rescued him – given him a home, shared a bed – and they killed him.

Underpinning everything is an increasingly robust maltiness and this adds depth and structure. This again has a biscuit-like quality and grips the tastebuds. A late note of toasted nuts (imagine hazelnut but also a suggestion of walnut) accentuates this. Some even later baking and wood spices add to the initial peppery warmth - think of cinnamon and a pinch of powdered ginger especially. He is, however, very attached to Grace O’Malley Spirits, producers of gin and whiskey here in Ireland. It is owned by managing director Stephen Cope and two German investors. “My brief is to make great whiskey,” says Caris. Caris blended the Grace O’Malley Blended Irish Whiskey using whiskeys ranging in age from three to ten years old. The blend includes a wide array of vessels, including French oak, ex-bourbon casks, and ex-rum barrels. It contains 46% malt, 40% double distilled and 6% triple distilled, which the producer describes as “one of the highest malt contents in the blended whiskey category.” Caris took inspiration from the diversity of flavor available in the various cask types to create the profile, according to the producer’s promotional video. The resulting blend is well balanced and harmonious, with no sharp elbows or disjointedness.

The finish is a little on the short side. It is the gripping malty characteristic that lingers most as the fruit (that green apple and hint of pineapple) and confected sweetness fade rapidly. This has the effect of bringing the white pepper and warming spices to the fore. I said, and gave their officers one from our cannon. Well they didn’t like that. Off they went, leaving their ships behind as ransom, of course. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law.

The other brand within the range is Proclamation, a dedication to the 1916 Proclamation which was the document that declared Ireland a republic. Cope took pains to recreate the feel of the original document on the label. “The whole concept was for the Irish-American diaspora market, making a liquid that’s as close to bourbon as possible,” Clancy explains. “It’s predominately a grain liquid using whiskey matured in virgin American oak with a little bit of sherry-finished malt at the end”.We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.

It’s an Irish whiskey and spirits company with a typically uncomplicated Irish name that was founded in 2017. It may not be on your radar because its core brands, Grace O’Malley and Proclamation , are the public-facing side of the operation. But in a short space of time, it has grown exponentially to become a hub of Irish whiskey sourcing, blending, and distributing. From dog food to whiskey
