Dublin Liberties Distillery is launching four, new, aged expressions to the US market with one blended Irish whiskey aged 5-years called Oak Devil, and three others, all single malt Irish Whiskies, which include The 10 year-old Copper Alley, the 13 year-old Murder Lane and the 16 year-old Keeper’s Coin.
Created by renowned Master Distiller Darryl McNally, the four, small batch, aged expressions are inspired by the stories, the streets and the people from the historic quarter of old Dublin where distilleries, weaving mills, forges, printing-presses, tanneries, illicit taverns, and dens of ill repute were abound.
An area known for centuries as Hell, this wild and wayward quarter of old Dublin was notorious for mayhem and riotous behavior with danger and intrigue waiting around every cobbled corner.
“Irish whiskey is my passion and to be able to play a part in continuing its growth is a real honor for me,” McNally says. “I see innovation in the super premium plus segment as key to continuing the impressive growth Irish whiskey has seen in recent years, so with The Dublin Liberties, we’re embracing an experimental approach with unique finishes for our aged malts unlike anything else on the market. We’re incredibly proud of the new expressions we’ve created!”
