I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to taste this Irish Whiskey before it’s general release. Stephen Randall hand delivered 50 taster samples to some close friends and Irish Whiskey Bloggers for a Tweet Tasting on “DavesWhiskey” #SundayNightSup – This whiskey is unique, complex, interesting and overall delicious.

The winner of World Best Irish Whiskey, was the first Irish Whiskey released with a Japanese minuzara finish. Extremely rare, and expensive, virgin Japanese mizunara, comes from Hokkaido, the rugged most northern island of Japan. The mizunara puncheon amplifies much of what is already there while layering on more vanilla smoothness, sandalwood notes and even a little coconut, or gorse flower if you’re from our neck of the woods. This is a whiskey that’s hard to make. It is unique in terms of what is being done with Irish whiskey and it is very limited. This is one to savour.
