Red Earl Blended Irish Whiskey is a combination of ex-bourbon-barrelled grain
Irish whiskey and ex-sherry triple distilled malt, matured for 45 months and then
merged to spend a further minimum period of 4 months in ex-Rioja casks. The
company chose Rioja for its spicy fruits, and as a mark of respect to the resting
place of the eponymous Red Earl, Hugh O’Donnell, near the Rioja region of
Spain.
Great Earl Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a combination of Rechar-barrelled grain
Irish whiskey and virgin oak grain, matured for 45 months and then merged to
spend a further minimum period of 3 months in ex Sangiovese casks, sourced
exclusively from the Lazio region of Italy, a nod to the final resting place of the
Great Earl, Hugh O’Neill, in Vatican City.
Spanish Earl Single Malt Irish Whiskey starts its ageing in ex-Bourbon casks for
nearly 4 years and then is split into two finishing casks, ex Imperial stout and ex
aged golden Jamaican rum. The two triple-distilled malt Irish whiskeys are then
recombined after at least 3 months apart, and bottled. The stout element is inspired
by Spanish General, Juan del Aguila’s, time spent in Cork, renowned the world
over for stout production for hundreds of years, while rum, being the preferred
drink of seafarers of old, lends sweet toffee to the dark chocolate of the stout.
