Premium spirits agency Speciality Brands has signed an exclusive deal with The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney to distribute its first global whiskey release – Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey – in the UK.
The new addition is joining Speciality Brands’ world whiskies portfolio which already includes Nikka from Japan, Michter’s from Kentucky, Kavalan from Taiwan and Irish Single Malt Waterford.
The Shed Distillery is also home to Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin. It opened in December 2014 in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim as the first distillery in the province of Connacht in over 100 years.
The Shed’s Head Distiller Brian Taft said: “Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a well-balanced whiskey, which dances effortlessly between sweet and spice, possessing a full, well-rounded creamy mouthfeel that lingers lightly on the tongue.”
Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (70cl, 43% ABV) launches this month with an RSP of £50.
