3 Bold Expressions To Tell One Battling Tale – The Expressions in This Exclusive Irish Whiskey Box

As the “Nine Years’ War” inspired Kinsale Spirit Company to create bold Irish whiskey expressions, these drams embodied the story of Irish and Spanish heroes who fought bravely against Queen Elizabeth’s forces at the beginning of the 17th Century.

This range was then created to honour three noble and main characters of that war and Kinsale’s battle specifically: the Red Earl, the Spanish Earl and the Great Earl.

The Nine Years’ War ended centuries ago, but it has been revived through an Irish whiskey tribute. Each expression of this whiskey brand perfectly represents the personality of the Earls and aims to tell their individual stories.

 

Red Earl Irish Whiskey

With a 40% ABV, this Kinsale Spirit Company Irish Whiskey expression combines single-grain Irish Whiskey from ex-bourbon barrels and triple-distilled malt from ex-sherry casks. The last months of its maturation are spent in ex-Rioja casks.

The Rioja casks were not chosen randomly, since the Red Earl died and was buried in the region of Rioja, in Spain.

 

Tasting notes of Red Earl Irish Whiskey:

Aromas – Fruity and floral with hints of strawberry and cherry as well as citrus and rose petals. Also has notes of oak, marzipan and almond.

Flavours – Sweet and spicy flavours with almonds, toffee and vanilla notes, as well as cinnamon and cloves flavours given by the Rioja casks.

Finish – Long and warm with a medium-bodied mouthfeel.

 

Spanish Earl Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Juan del Aguila is the persona to whom Kinsale Spirit Company Irish Whiskey Distillery pays homage with this Single Malt Irish Whiskey. The Spanish Earl battled side by side with the Red Earl and the Great Earl at Kinsale’s Battle and is now remembered in a triple-distilled and triple-cask expression.

The Kinsale Single Malt Irish Whiskey starts its journey in ex-bourbon casks, where it matures for 4 years. Just as Juan campaigned between two nations, this spirit is then divided in two, so it simultaneously ages in ex-imperial stout casks and in ex-golden Jamaican rum casks for 3 months. After that time, the two spirits are then brought together to be bottled.

The ex-imperial stout casks may seem an unusual choice for whiskey maturation; however, the Spanish Earl spent some time in Cork, a region renowned for its stout beer production.

 

Tasting notes of Spanish Earl Single Malt Irish Whiskey:

Nose – Bitter and creamy with dark chocolate and cream liqueur notes. Also has dried fruit notes.

Taste – Creamy notes, coffee and dark chocolate flavour hints, resembling the Irish Imperial Stout. The ex-rum casks influence some dried and tropical fruit notes.

Finish – Long with a hint of raisins.

 

Great Earl Single Grain Irish Whiskey

His image remains in a Vatican City fresco, and his spirit will live forever in this Single Grain Irish Whiskey. Hugh “the Great Earl” O Neill defied the English Crown alongside the Red and Spanish Earls, and he is now honoured in a daring Kinsale Spirit Company Irish Whiskey expression.

This spirit combines grain Irish Whiskey from previously recharred barrels and grain from virgin oak casks, where it rests and ages for 45 months. The last 3 months of maturation take place in ex-Sangiovese casks from Lazio, where the general died and was buried. These casks are sourced and crafted uniquely for Kinsale Spirit Distillery.

 

Tasting notes of Great Earl Single Grain Irish Whiskey:

Nose: Sweet and woody; Vanilla and marzipan.

Taste: Sweet, fruity and spicy; Honey, blackberries and elderberries; White pepper and tannin from the wine.

Finish: Long and strong, with a creamy mouthfeel.
