JJ Corry – The Flintlock 21 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey

BEST SMALL BATCH SINGLE MALT THE FLINTLOCK IS A SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY MATURED IN EX-BOURBON CASKS FROM KENTUCKY, USA AND FINISHED IN A FINO SHERRY CASK FROM JEREZ, SPAIN

To create The Flintlock ; six single malt ex-bourbon casks were hand picked, each from the same distillery, from the J.J. Corry library of Irish Whiskey flavours. Aged 21 years, each single malt was chosen based on its unique flavour profile and attributes.

Initially, these casks were blended to develop a vatting which perfectly represents J.J. Corry’s juicy fruit house style, before the flavours were married in a Fino Sherry Butt, to harmonize and impart complexity, giving the whiskey a rich, grapelike and floral character. The result is a bright, floral Single Malt Irish Whiskey bursting with white stone fruit flavours, sweet dried fruits, mellowed with toasted vanilla and almond notes. The Flintlock No. 4 is bottled at 46% ABV without any artificial colouring or chill-filtration.

The Flintlock series is named after a pistol found concealed in the rafters of J.J. Corry’s 17th-century Tasting Barn on the McGuane family farm. The pistol dates back to the 1790s, a time of freedom fighting in Ireland showing that independent thinking has always been important around here.
