Jack Ryan Raglan Road 5 Year Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey (700mL)

Raglan Road 5 Year Old Irish Single Malt is a cask strength whiskey aged in bourbon barrels, matured in madeira barrels and finished in imperial stout casks produced by Seamus McMahon’s Brehon Brewhouse.

This fine craft brewery is situated in Killanny Monaghan, across the fields from poet Paddy Kavanagh’s Inniskeen homeplace. Raglan Road seemed a fitting name for this town and country, Dublin and Monaghan, family to family, Ryan and McMahon, collaboration. An ambitious and technically difficult finish, the Ryan's sent casks to Seamus in which he finished his stout, then retrieved them and filled the same day with their whiskey.

Only 3,500 bottles are available worldwide, each numbered and signed by Eunan Ryan.

Jack Ryan Raglan Road 5 YO Tasting Notes:

Color: Amber
Aroma: Homemade marmalade and the white toast it’s layered on. Candied orange peel, real orange peel, pound cake and panatone. Plain cookie. Cake mix and pith, and with water, orange petals on top of those peels.
Palate: Honey nut cheerios. Bread crust. Bran biscuits, more orange peel, and thick gooey nougat. As with the nose, with water comes orange blossom water – and more cereals and citrus wax.
Finish: Thick frosting, citrus pith, old-school orange sweets and pound cake again. Breadiness and citrus, together at last. Sultanas for a minute straight.
