The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey Dublin, Ireland Malt and Grain
Renowned for their carefully crafted cocktails and Irish coffees, the Dead Rabbit bar in New York have now launched an Irish whiskey. Co-founders Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry have collaborated with Master Distiller Darryl McNally from Dublin Liberties Distillery to launch a five year old blend to mark the bar's fifth anniversary. Comprised of both malt and grain, this whiskey was initially matured in ex-Bourbon barrels casks and then finished in virgin oak American casks.
Barrel spices, dark vanilla, and toasted nuts on the nose with lots of wood notes. The spice really hits hard but with a bit of vanilla sweetness to help smooth it out on the palate. Nice bite which works well when making cocktails or drink neat for a spicy kick and a dry finish.
