Indulge in a spirited journey through Irish history with the Red Earl Blended Irish Whiskey. Produced by the Kinsale Spirit Company, this outstanding blend of ex bourbon-barrelled grain Irish whiskey and ex-sherry triple distilled malt pays a fitting tribute to Red Hugh O’Donnell, one of the great heroes of Irish history.
The Red Earl isn't merely a beverage; it's a craft distilled testament to audacity and resilience. Matured for 45 months in premium ex-bourbon and sherry barrels, the whiskey is then harmoniously blended and aged for a further four months in ex-Rioja casks. This final touch is a respectful nod to Red Hugh’s final resting place in the Rioja region of Spain, imbuing the spirit with both character and a sense of history.
A sniff of the Red Earl offers a tantalising bouquet of cherry, strawberry, rose petal and citrus, layered delicately over undertones of marzipan, almond and oak. The Rioja cask finishing not only imparts a colour reminiscent of a fine rosé wine but also infuses the whiskey with vibrant fruity notes, giving it an appealing and unique character.
On the palate, the Red Earl unfolds a magnificent symphony of flavours. The initial sweetness of toffee and vanilla is beautifully balanced by the rich depth of toasted almonds. These are punctuated by delightful spicy notes of cinnamon and clove, an homage to the characteristic zesty spiciness of Rioja wines. Medium-bodied and impeccably balanced, the whiskey rounds off with a long, warm, and irresistibly moreish finish.
The Red Earl is the brainchild of the Kinsale Spirit Company, founded by Tom O’Riordan. Inspired by the energetic community and vibrant lifestyle of Kinsale, a captivating coastal town in Ireland, the company is driven to produce spirits that capture the essence of this lively locale.
