The Irishman Founder's Reserve

The Founder’s Reserve is a unique take on the old Irish Pot Still Whiskey and is the original and signature blend created by founder Bernard Walsh. It is a blend of two styles, Single Malt and Single Pot Still. The proportions used are 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still. This is unusual in itself, as it is the only Irish blended whiskey to contain 100% whiskey distillates from the copper pot still and 0% Grain or Column still whiskey. This results in a much more flavorsome whiskey. The Founder’s Reserve is triple distilled and matured in Bourbon Casks.

NOSE
A Zesty Spice, with hints of black pepper, cinnamon and peaches. A slight hint of vanilla too, with a suggestive savor of Green Apple.

PALATE
Pot Still Spice, malt, dark chocolate, bourbon oak, and crème caramel

FINISH
Everlasting finish with oak and butterscotch. Lingers for what seems like an eternity!
