Rare Bourbons & New Arrivals From Edencroft!

June 12, 2018 by Gary Leave a Comment

Elijah Craig / 18 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon & Pikesville / 6 Year Old 110 Proof Straight Rye.

Edencroft has two fantastic Rare Bourbons to share with you! Please see more details on both below.

Elijah Craig / 18 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon.

£170.00

A unique Bourbon showcasing our Master Distillers’ expertise, Elijah Craig 18-Year-Old Single Barrel makes for an incredibly smooth sipping experience.


Pikesville / 6 Year Old 110 Proof Straight Rye.

£74.50

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey refuses to be forgotten. First produced in Maryland in the 1890s, the brand, along with the rest of the once-booming Maryland Rye industry, was shuttered by prohibition.

The brand reemerged after prohibition and became the last standing Maryland Rye, as the rest of the industry’s production had ceased.

Now produced in Kentucky from extra-aged barrels stored in prime warehouse locations, Heaven Hill keeps this historic Maryland mark alive with this award-winning six year old, 110 proof offering.

SIZE: 700 ml.

The second release of Vintage 2000 is bright copper in appearance.

The nose is full bodied with aromas of seasoned oak, baked red apples and fruitcake, followed by warming vanilla and ripe tropical stone fruits. Rich and balanced, this classic Balblair nose tells the story of its charismatic spirit and perfect ageing.

On the palate, the whisky is slightly oily in texture. Ground spices and old hardwood strike first chords in this elegant and rewarding dram, building up to brighter flavours of tinned pineapples, bitter orange peel and honey.

The finish builds up slowly with lasting sweetness, creaminess and notes of bitter chocolate.

Irish Distillers Scoop Multiple Golds In San Francisco!

June 5, 2018 by Gary Leave a Comment

24 Gold or above medals for Irish Distillers!

Irish Distillers have scooped a remarkable 24 Gold or above medals at the recent International Spirits Challenge and San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Top honours were awarded to Powers John’s Lane 12 Years Old, scooping Best Single Pot Still Whiskey and Best Irish Whiskey at the annual tasting in San Francisco.

Powers John’s Lane 12 Years Old crowned Best Irish Whiskey!

New members of the Irish Distillers family, Midleton Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest (released October 2017) and Jameson Bow Street 18 Years Cask Strength (released April 2018), were also highly commended, winning Double Gold medals on their first outing at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

These accolades have set the bar high for the rest of the awards season, suggesting further success is on the horizon for both of these prestige offerings from the Midleton family of Irish whiskeys.

In addition, Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength claimed its fourth Double Gold medal in a row at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition – a testament to the consistency in quality of single pot still Irish whiskey craftsmanship at the Midleton Distillery, County Cork.

With four Gold or above medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Redbreast has once again cemented its place as the most decorated single pot still Irish whiskey in the world.

In total, the prestige range from Irish Distillers secured one Best, six Double Gold and 17 Gold medals across the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) and International Spirits Challenge (ISC):

ameson Bow Street 18 Years Cask Strength

We are thrilled with the response to Midleton Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest and Jameson Bow Street 18 Years Cask Strength at one of the most renowned spirit tasting competitions in the world. It is also great to see the Powers and Redbreast ranges flourish, as they continue to excite a whole new generation with the quintessential single pot still style of Irish whiskey.

These accolades are a tribute to the craftsmen and women at Midleton Distillery Co. Cork, past and present, who work tirelessly to produce whiskeys of unrivalled quality.
– Billy Leighton: Master Blender at the Midleton Distillery

Now in its 18th year, the San Francisco World Spirits Challenge is one of the most influential spirits competitions in the world and is judged by a line-up of esteemed drinks journalists, producers and experts.
