Available Exclusively Online: Thomond Gate – Dick Mack’s Brewhouse Coffee Stout Cask Finish Single Malt
This Spring, Thomond Gate Limerick Whiskey invites you to raise a glass to innovation, warmth, and Irish tradition with the release of our newest whiskey: Joe Sheridan – Dick Mack’s Coffee Stout Finish Single Malt.
This special release pays tribute to Joe Sheridan, the County Tyrone native who created the world-famous Irish Coffee in 1943 at the Foynes flying boat terminal in County Limerick. On a cold, stormy night, Sheridan added Irish whiskey to passengers’ coffee to warm their spirits. When asked if it was Brazilian coffee, he famously replied, “No—that’s Irish coffee.”
Crafted in that same spirit, this whiskey is the result of a collaboration between Dick Mack’s Brewhouse in Dingle and the Limerick Spirit Company, bottled under our Thomond Gate mark. It began with a single malt distilled on 6 March 2017 and matured in bourbon casks. In 2021, the whiskey was transferred into a cask that had previously held Dick Mack’s rich coffee stout—imbuing it with deep notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and gentle oak.
After more than three years of finishing, it was bottled on 8 December 2024, capturing a flavour journey that mirrors the flight path from Kerry to Limerick, just as Sheridan’s story did.
Tasting Notes
