Beam Suntory’s The Tyrconnell brand has released a new limited-edition 46% ABV Irish whiskey, which will be available from selected retailers in the US.
The Tyrconnell 15-Year-Old Madeira Cask Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey will have a suggested retail price of $100 for a 750ml bottle, and the drink is only available in limited quantities due to its age and unique finish.
Only two ingredients have been used to make the whiskey – Irish barley and spring water, and the drink has been double distilled to create a delicate flavour.
The brand says the 15-year ageing process and the Madeira cask finish provides the drink with vanilla aromas, a hint of banana bread and subtle traces of hazelnut.
John Cashman, Tyrconnell global brand ambassador for Irish whiskey at Beam Suntory said: “We knew we had discovered something special when we first began experimenting with finishing The Tyrconnell in Madeira casks.
“Because we are in the fortunate position of being one of the oldest Irish whiskey-producing companies, we have the patience to wait 15 long years to present something truly remarkable.
“The 15-year-old Tyrconnell finished in Madeira casks is a beautifully rich and spicy spirit, one that I like to enjoy neat or over a few cubes.”
