Crafted in Co. Louth, Grace O'Malley Maritime Cask Irish Whiskey is a premium blended whiskey, bringing together grain, pot still, and malt whiskeys. The standout feature of this unique blend lies in its maturation process. The whiskey is aged in French oak barrels that are exposed to the salty air of the Atlantic, known as Maritime Casks. This sea breeze imparts a subtle briny character that beautifully complements the natural sweetness of the whiskey.

On the nose, expect inviting aromas of vanilla, honey, and citrus, with an underlying hint of maritime saltiness. On the palate, the whiskey offers a well-balanced fusion of sweet malt, caramel, and orange peel, with a lingering finish of toasted oak and a delicate saline touch. Grace O'Malley Maritime Cask delivers a smooth, elegant drinking experience that pays tribute to Ireland’s rich maritime history and its fearless pirate queen, Grace O'Malley.

The whiskey’s connection to maritime tradition is central to its identity. These barrels, known as Maritime Casks, impart subtle briny notes that are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of caramel, vanilla, and light citrus. Grace O'Malley Maritime Cask reflects the courage and pioneering spirit of the pirate queen, Grace O'Malley, and is crafted to pay homage to her legacy. Produced at the Great Northern Distillery in Co. Louth, the whiskey showcases the finest elements of Irish whiskey-making, combining innovation with deep-rooted tradition.

  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and creamy, with a smooth texture that leaves a lasting impression. The maritime influence adds a slight saltiness that enhances the complexity of the whiskey.

Grace O’Malley Spirits is relatively new to the market, launching in 2019, but its rapid rise is a testament to the quality of its products.

Food Pairings:

Grace O'Malley Maritime Cask Irish Whiskey pairs excellently with a range of dishes. Its sweet and salty notes make it a perfect match for roasted meats, such as lamb or pork. The caramel and vanilla flavours of the whiskey contrast beautifully with rich, savoury dishes, adding depth to the overall dining experience.

For seafood lovers, this whiskey is an ideal pairing with grilled prawns, scallops, or oysters, as the subtle maritime saltiness in the whiskey complements the natural briny qualities of seafood. Cheese pairings also work wonderfully, especially strong cheeses like blue cheese or a sharp Irish cheddar, which enhance the whiskey's sweetness and complexity.

Serving and Cocktail Suggestions:

While Grace O'Malley Maritime Cask is best enjoyed neat or over ice to appreciate its complex flavour profile, it also lends itself well to cocktails. For a refreshing drink, try it in a Whiskey Sour, combining the whiskey with fresh lemon juice, a hint of honey, and a dash of bitters. Another simple yet elegant option is to serve it in a highball with soda water and a twist of lemon or orange, allowing the whiskey’s natural flavours to shine.
