The Drumshanbo Single Malt Irish Whiskey 2021 – Galantá Edition exemplifies the innovative spirit of The Shed Distillery under the stewardship of PJ Rigney. This edition is not just a whiskey; it is a piece of history, being the first of its kind from Connacht in over a century.
Distilled and meticulously hand-bottled by Master Blender Brian Taft, this whiskey embodies the craft and care invested in traditional methods. The choice of Single Use Kentucky Bourbon casks for maturation adds a unique American twist to the Irish malt, creating a profile rich with vanilla and subtle spice.
