My demands were simple – release my captured sons, namely Tibbot the Mac William. Pay me a pension. And, last but not least, call off her dog Bingham. This was all in Latin, of course. She didn’t have any Irish and I sure as hellfire wasn’t going to speak English. Could have been in French or Spanish, but Latin just seemed more fitting, somehow. With a bottle of whiskey and the will to sort the mess out, we thrashed it out. Underpinning everything is an increasingly robust maltiness and this adds depth and structure. This again has a biscuit-like quality and grips the tastebuds. A late note of toasted nuts (imagine hazelnut but also a suggestion of walnut) accentuates this. Some even later baking and wood spices add to the initial peppery warmth - think of cinnamon and a pinch of powdered ginger especially.

Grace (or Gráinne) O’Malley is known as the pirate queen of Ireland, a woman born into Irish nobility around 1530 but became, as Chambers described her, a “fearless leader, by land and by sea, a political pragmatist and politician, a ruthless plunderer, a mercenary, a rebel, a shrewd and able negotiator, the protective matriarch of her family and tribe…” as well as a “woman who broke the mould and thereby played a unique role in history”. As far as figures you could a brand around go, O’Malley is about as compelling as it gets. One particular story tells of her sailing up the Thames with a bottle of whiskey to negotiate the release of her son with Queen Elizabeth I. “We like to say it’s the first export of Irish whiskey,” Clancy remarks.

So light and gentle that it’s almost flighty, I can’t see how anyone would not enjoy a dram or two of this whiskey. Whether they remember it the following day, that’s the question. Given one of the fears within Irish whiskey is that there isn’t enough of it to meet demand, it’s a sage bit of strategy. Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta has set up a bulk whiskey company, selling whiskey to domestic and internation al producers, with customers ranging from bars in the United States to Japanese blenders. There’s also Good Spirits Bottling, a blending, bottling, and maturation facility in Dundalk, just 10 minutes from Great Northern Distillery. The other brand within the range is Proclamation, a dedication to the 1916 Proclamation which was the document that declared Ireland a republic. Cope took pains to recreate the feel of the original document on the label. “The whole concept was for the Irish-American diaspora market, making a liquid that’s as close to bourbon as possible,” Clancy explains. “It’s predominately a grain liquid using whiskey matured in virgin American oak with a little bit of sherry-finished malt at the end”. On the palate this whiskey has the same freshness and sweetness as seen on the nose. Crisp and tart green apple notes mingle with a hefty pinch of white pepper and a good dollop of honey. This honey-like note becomes more pronounced with time and heads more in the direction of honeycomb and golden syrup as it does so. These are then joined by further sweet notes such as milk chocolate, toffee and a hint of caramelised pineapple.

Caris blended the Grace O’Malley Blended Irish Whiskey using whiskeys ranging in age from three to ten years old. The blend includes a wide array of vessels, including French oak, ex-bourbon casks, and ex-rum barrels. It contains 46% malt, 40% double distilled and 6% triple distilled, which the producer describes as “one of the highest malt contents in the blended whiskey category.” Caris took inspiration from the diversity of flavor available in the various cask types to create the profile, according to the producer’s promotional video. The resulting blend is well balanced and harmonious, with no sharp elbows or disjointedness. Have you heard of Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta? It’s an Irish whiskey and spirits company with a typically uncomplicated Irish name that was founded in 2017. It may not be on your radar because its core brands, Grace O’Malley and Proclamation , are the public-facing side of the operation. But in a short space of time, it has grown exponentially to become a hub of Irish whiskey sourcing, blending, and distributing. From dog food to whiskey

Before I tell you if Grace O'Malley is the queen of Irish Whiskey or not, I'd like to thank them for sending me a bottle in exchange for a no-strings-attached, honest review. And now, it is time to #DrinkCurious.Grace O’Malley, formally Grainne Ní Mháille, was born in 1530 and became known as the “pirate queen of Ireland,” though that seems to be more in the sense of leading maritime vessels against the English navy, not the whole raping and pillaging side of things. The palate finds just a bit more going on, with an initial rush of honey grahams tempered by smoldering earth, some fresh-cut grass, and a light note of milk chocolate. Bready with notes of brown sugar, what lingers on the finish is a touch of butterscotch and baking spice — but, as with everything with Grace O’Malley, it’s only a touch. He is, however, very attached to Grace O’Malley Spirits, producers of gin and whiskey here in Ireland. It is owned by managing director Stephen Cope and two German investors. “My brief is to make great whiskey,” says Caris. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

Bottle, Bar, or Bust: It is admittedly difficult to dislike Irish whiskey. That's not to say there aren't mediocre examples, but Irish whiskey is known for being smooth and easy to sip. I enjoyed my pour of Grace O'Malley. There was more going on with this than I expected. I would have preferred a longer finish, but that only means it gets sipped faster. I'm lobbing my Bottle rating at this one, I'm betting it will make you happy, too. Cheers! Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Instead, Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta took the interesting step of creating an exclusive partnership with Great Northern Distillery. It’s a case of Irish whiskey’s secret giant teaming up with its greatest secret weapon, as the distillery is a superb and consistent producer without its own named brand. In fact, the name people will associate with most is that of its founder, John Teeling, the man who made history in 1987 with Cooley, the first new Irish whiskey distillery in a century, before selling it to Beam Suntory.
