Distiller Notes
Jack Ryan Single Malt with an abv of 46% is an authentic Irish Whiskey that sets you up for a delicious mouthful of silky, honey sweetness with a long, warm- hearted, lingering, spicy finish.
Bright gold in color. Intense tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, lemon and orange peel with a touch on cinnamon and ginger. Smooth and oily textured. Even at the full 46% it is soft and easy to drink. Flavors of fresh pineapple, lemon, oranges, marmalade and ginger snap with some honey and oak. Becomes more malty and biscuity with the oak flavors also shining through.
The result of an historically prohibitive tax placed on malted barley by the English crown, Irish Whiskey is most often produced from a combination of un-malted barley and other grains. Whereas most other Whiskeys are twice distilled, Irish Whiskeys are distilled three times in a column still and must mature in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. These intricate production steps combine to make them lighter, smoother and more approachable than other styles.
