Review: The Whistler Double Oaked Irish Whiskey
The Whistler Double Oaked Irish Whiskey is one of three new whiskeys in the February 2020 released Whistler Trilogy series. The other two are The Whistler Irish Honey, and The Whistler Irish Cream. Each is blended at Boann Distillery while their own distilled whiskey is barrel aged. Michael Walsh the Master Distiller at Boann Distillery selects the finest blend of malt and grain whiskies that are small batch triple distilled and matured in ex-bourbon barrels. The whiskey is finished at the Boann Distillery in their signature Oloroso Sherry Casks for six months before bottling at 80 proof. Read more 
Review: Concannon Irish Whiskey
Concannon Irish Whiskey was released in 2012. It is a blended Irish whiskey made from soft pure spring water from the mountainside of Slieve na gCloc, and locally harvested spring malted barley. The grain whiskey portion is made from corn. Concannon Irish whiskey is distilled in small long necked copper pot stills. The spirit is first aged for 4 years in bourbon barrels and later aged for four months in barrels previously used to age Concannon Petite Sirah wine. Fourth generation Vintner John Concannon created Concannon Irish whiskey in collaboration with Cooley Distillers, as a special tribute to his great grandfather James Concannon. James sailed from Ireland to America in 1865 when he was 18. In 1874 James and his wife traveled from Maine and settled in the Livermore Valley of California where he founded Concannon Winery in 1883. The bottle I am reviewing was distilled at the Cooley Distillery. Since Beam acquired the distillery and renamed it Kilbeggan Distillery, they reduced the number of brands they produce Irish whiskey for. This resulted in several brands death, since there were so few distilleries producing Irish Whiskey. Concannan Irish Whiskey has survived but I don’t know the current source of their Irish whiskey.
