This bottling of a 19-year-old Irish single malt was produced under the Grace OMalley label and is reminiscent of an Irish pirate queen from the 16th century. The whisky probably comes from the Cooley distillery and was finished in ex-Amarone casks.
The Cooley distillery near Dundalker on the Cooley Peninsula in Ireland was founded in 1987 by John Teeling and dates back to a former state potato schnapps distillery.
Ireland has long played a leading role in the world as a whiskey producer. Not only was whiskey (or whiskey-like) distilled very early (from the 14th century onwards), but the sheer number of distilleries that developed over time (by 1800 there were already over 2000 distilleries) is remarkable.
