From Ireland, with Love

 
Two things that might be appropriate in the month of St. Patrick’s Day—Michael Collins and Irish Whiskey. Put them together and you have Michael Collins Irish Whiskey.
Michael Collins, a heroic figure in Irish history, signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, which made Ireland an independent country for the first time in over 700 years. Michael Collins was a visionary who realized that Ireland was poised for greatness. He understood the importance of retaining culture and heritage but knew that as an independent country, Ireland could flourish.


Nearly a century after his death,  Ireland has become the prosperous, economically successful country that Michael Collins envisioned. As a tribute to his efforts, Michael Collins Irish Whiskeys celebrate a new age in Ireland and in Irish Whiskey.

The blended whiskeys are aged for a minimum of four to more than twelve years in small bourbon seasoned casks to ensure a rich, smooth taste-- clean and full, delicately balanced between honey sweet and citrus flavors, with a fresh oak finish.

The Single Malt, matured in specially selected oak casks for a minimum of eight to over twelve years, is well-rounded and complex with a rich maltiness. The long finish has a hint of chocolate and a wonderfully settled smoky flavor from the peat that lingers on the palate.

Have a toast to St. Patrick and to Ireland. And as always, drink and serve responsibly.
