- Description
- Connacht's Ballyhoo grain Irish whiskey, made from a mash bill of 93% corn and 7% malted barley, spent four years in standard maturation before finishing six months in sweet red tawny Port casks. The high corn content creates a light, approachable spirit that the Port finish elevates with residual sweetness, dried fruit, and subtle tannin structure. The cask influence adds colour and depth without overwhelming the delicate grain character. An accessible introduction to Irish grain whiskey with added complexity from thoughtful wood finishing.
