A Blended Fercullen Irish Whiskey Amarone cask influence, ‘The Italian Gardens’ Limited Edition will be available from June the 20 th.
This year Powerscourt Distillery pays homage to the inspirational ‘Italian Gardens’, the centrepiece of the world-renowned Powerscourt Gardens, voted Third-Best Gardens in the World by National Geographic.
In 2021 Powerscourt Distillery released the first in the Estate Series, named to give a nod of respect to its Fercullen brand home, the near 300 year-old mill house.
‘The Mill House’ sold out in a few weeks.
Powerscourt Distillery’s new Head of Whiskey & Product Development John Cashman, a recipient of an Icons of Whisky award and an international wine & spirits judge, has worked in multiple distilleries under the Beam Suntory umbrella.
Having worked alongside the Distillery’s founding Master Distiller Noel Sweeney for many years at Cooley, John preserves unique knowledge on Fercullen whiskeys old & new and combined a Fercullen 19 Year-Old Malt with an Italian-influenced Amarone cask finish, blending this with a 12 Year-Old Grain Irish Whiskey.
Having established its core range of award-winning Fercullen Irish Whiskeys – 8 Year-Old blend, 10 Year-Old Single Grain, 14 Year-Old Single Malt and 18 Year-Old Single Malt, Powerscourt Distillery adds to its range the Estate Series and the launch of the series’ second edition ‘The Italian Gardens’.
