Tyronnell 15 Year Madeira Cask Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey

This liquid is aged for 15 years in American White Oak ex bourbon barrels, then finished with an extra maturation in Madeira wine casks from the Madeira islands of Portugal, giving this unrivaled Irish whiskey unsurpassed richness and complexity. Double Gold Medal – 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The legend of The Tyrconnell was born in 1876, when R. M. Delamere entered his chestnut colt, Tyrconnell, in the prestigious National Produce Stakes horse race. Fortune found favor with Delamere that afternoon, as Tyrconnell bested horses and oddsmakers alike on his march to victory. The surprise victory captured the imagination of the assembled crowd, which included the Watts, a local family who had built a thriving whiskey distillery. They chose to commemorate the occasion by creating a limited edition, small batch whiskey that bore the name of their local champion.
