A statement from Walsh Whiskey noted that this year’s vintage is limited to 8,400 bottles worldwide, which includes the U.S., Canada, Ireland, France, the UK, South Africa and Asia.
The 2023 vintage is the 15th annual release since they started the line in 2008. That’s when it became the first triple-distilled, cask strength Irish whiskey released in more than a half century.
The Irishman 2023 Vintage Cask is a blend of triple distilled, aged single malt and aged single pot still whiskey. The casks used were hand-selected by The Irishman’s founder, Bernard Walsh.
“The Irishman Cask Strength is a labor of love,” Walsh said. “This blend … recreates one of Irish whiskey’s greatest 19th century traditions, which The Irishman first brought back in 2008. The 2023 edition of The Irishman Vintage Cask is a strong, complex and inviting exploration.”
