May Loag Bordeaux Smoked Lightly Peated Irish Whiskey represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and tradition in the world of Irish whiskey. This single malt, aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and red wine Bordeaux casks, is a product of the renowned Old Carrick Mill Distillery. Known for its dedication to quality and innovation, the distillery ensures that each bottle of May Loag Bordeaux Smoked Lightly Peated offers a distinctive and unforgettable drinking experience.

May Loag Bordeaux Smoked Lightly Peated is crafted from 100% malted barley, distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and aged in carefully selected casks. The dual cask maturation process imparts a rich complexity to the whiskey, with the ex-bourbon barrels adding notes of vanilla and caramel, while the red wine Bordeaux casks introduce layers of dark fruit and subtle spice. This single malt adheres to the legal definitions and high standards of Irish whiskey production, ensuring a product that is both authentic and of the highest quality. The light peat smoke adds an extra dimension to the flavour profile, making it a unique addition to any whiskey collection.

The Old Carrick Mill Distillery, established in 1780, is one of Ireland’s oldest and most esteemed distilleries. Located in County Monaghan, the distillery has a long history of producing high-quality Irish whiskeys. Over the centuries, it has garnered numerous awards and accolades, solidifying its reputation as a leader in the industry. The distillery’s commitment to traditional methods, combined with modern innovations, is evident in the production of May Loag Bordeaux Smoked Lightly Peated. This blend of old and new creates a truly unique whiskey that honours the legacy of Irish whiskey-making while pushing the boundaries of flavour and complexity.
