Winter Releases

In September, an informal poll on social media showed that whiskey fans were clamoring for better communication about upcoming releases. We took that feedback seriously, and we are excited to provide details on our upcoming releases – not just the tasting notes and ABV, but also the what, the when, the where and the how much. This Winter season, we are bringing back WD O’Connell classics, and rolling out an exciting new single pot still to close out what has been an amazing year of growth for us!

The 13-Year All-Sherry Single Malt was created by Bushmills in 2008. Fully matured in an Oloroso sherry butt, there is an aroma of dates dusted with white pepper, flaked almonds & crushed grapes. Crystallised ginger, caramelised banana, clove spices & sherry-soaked raisins on the palette give way to a medium finish with toasted oak, dark chocolate & roasted hazelnuts.

PX Single Cask Irish Whiskey from WD O'Connell Whiskey Merchants

Pedro Ximénez Cask Series

19 Years Old

Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Release Date: December 4

This 19-year old single malt was initially matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, before we created a small batch that we aged for a further 24 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The successor to last year’s PX 18, it has a rich cocoa nose with white pepper spices, raisings & toasted oak. This year, we brought the whiskey back down to a manageable 46%, and the result is outstanding.

More please.

 

  • 46% ABV
  • Distilled at Cooley Distillery
  • Recommended Retail Price: € 159.95
  • 700 ml
  • Limited to ~348 bottles

Hopefully, you like something you see in that list. We certainly do, and we are serious about bottling the best premium whiskey we can get our hands on. We’ll continue to drop a new list or calendar out as we plan future releases, and we will continue to give you what we think are some highlights of each bottle, as well as the important stuff – where’s it from, how much should it cost, and where can you get it.

Watch this space.
