ABOUT
OUR TIMELESS WHISKEY honours both the history and the people behind the birth of the Proclamation, the document which proclaimed the establishment of the Irish Republic in 1916; the pivotal role they both played at the turn of the 20th Century coupled with their enduring importance in the 21st
“We wanted to celebrate Ireland’s independent spirit through a quality Irish whiskey, one that also tells the story of some of the unsung heroes of this time. Proclamation Blended Irish Whiskey pays tribute to the three printers of the Proclamation, William O’Brien, Michael Molloy and Christopher Joseph Brady and acknowledges the important role they played during a hugely significant time in Irish history.”
Historian, author and publisher Mícheál Ó Doibhilín.
OUR CONTEMPORARY DESIGN reflects the physical attributes of the original document. As the printers had insufficient type to print it all at once it had to be printed in two parts.
The label includes blind embossing, while fonts were specially redrawn to emulate those of the Proclamation, such as the spurious ‘e’ that features in the original document.
OUR BLEND
PROCLAMATION IRISH WHISKEY is a blend of the finest grain whiskies from across Ireland. Timelessly crafted in small individual batches offering a liquid of complex, yet refined character.
THE LIQUID is tripled distilled and aged in new American Oak, offering up a singularly smooth whiskey with a clean taste.
MATURED IN bourbon casks & blended with a touch of sherry-finished malt to give a rounded, toasted finish.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
FIRST TO BE REVEALED is ripe Williams pear, followed by an abundance of apricot and creme brulée notes. Slowly developing through to rich custard, freshly brewed cappuccino and ending with woody notes.
MOUTHFEEL / PALATE
FRONT LOADED NOTES of toasted brioche, freshly baked pastry and overtones of macerated yellow fruits. Fusions of tannins on the mid-palate with a robust yet rounded finish.
AFTERNOTE
OVERWHELMINGLY SMOOTH and creamy with a mellow finish, with hints of toasted cereal.
