Irish Distillers, maker of some of the world’s most well-known and enjoyed Irish whiskeys, is proud to introduce the latest whiskey expression from its innovative Micro Distillery, METHOD AND MADNESS Amburana Wood Finish, which will be distributed by the Barry Group in the Republic of Ireland. The first single pot still Irish whiskey aged in casks made from selectively sourced Amburana Wood, this latest release from METHOD AND MADNESS offers a completely revolutionary flavour profile.
Set to captivate both whiskey enthusiasts and discoverers, METHOD AND MADNESS Amburana Wood Finish is priced at a RRP of €95 and bottled at 46% ABV, with the latest cask experimentation contributing additional notes of marzipan, cardamom and vanilla.
“We are delighted to partner with Irish Distillers with the exclusive distribution of METHOD AND MADNESS Amburana Wood Finish”, shared Jim Barry, Barry Group Managing Director. “Their expertise in the whiskey category paired with ours in retail is a fruitful match, bound for success.”
METHOD AND MADNESS Amburana Wood Finish was created from triple distilled single pot still whiskey made using malted and unmalted barley, originally distilled in 2018 and matured in ex-American whiskey oak barrels. This whiskey then finished its journey in South American Amburana wood casks, until it was deemed a whiskey par excellence by the pioneering METHOD AND MADNESS team.
Speaking about the whiskey, Barrett Stapleton, Head Distiller at Irish Distillers’ Micro Distillery, said: "We’re delighted to launch METHOD AND MADNESS Amburana Wood Finish, an exciting expression crafted at the Micro Distillery in Midleton. Having trialled a variety of wood finishes, the team felt it was the optimum time to showcase the unique and interesting flavour profile of Amburana wood. This expression pushes the boundaries by using innovative wood, unlocking new flavours and yielding a truly distinctive character in the resulting whiskey."
METHOD AND MADNESS Amburana Finish will be available from 17th May in Republic of Ireland exclusively at Carry Out Off Licence, online at www.carryout.ie, and select Costcutter outlets.
