Walsh Whiskey aus Irland bringt einen neuen The Irishman Founder’s Reserve auf den Markt, und es ist der erste in der Reihe, der – passend zur nahenden Weihnachtszeit – ein Finish im Oloroso-Fass erhalten hat. Insgesamt neun Fässer ergeben eine Ausbeute von etwas über 8000 Flaschen, abgefüllt mit 46% vol., und die werden über neun Schlüsselmärkte weltweit verteilt. Kostenpunkt: In etwa 75 Euro.
Ob es den Whiskey auch in Deutschland geben wird, versuchen wir gerade zu eruieren und werden den Artikel dann dementsprechend aktualisieren. Update: In Europa wird dieser Whisky nur in Belgien und Holland erhältlich sein, auch UK ist diesmal außen vor,
Hier einmal die Aussendung von Walsh Whiskey, die den neuen The Irishman Founder’s Reserve Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish präsentiert:
