Review: Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
PJ Rigney opened the Shed Distillery in 2014 on the shores of Lough Allen at the foothills of Sliabh an Iarainn in Drumshanb Co. Leitrim Ireland. PJ had worked in the spirits business for 30 years and was on the team that invented Baileys. He teamed with Head Distiller Brian Taft and they currently craft 3 versions of Gunpowder Irish Gin, Sausage Tree Vodka, and Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Drumshanbo Single Pot Still is made using malted Irish barley, unmalted Irish barley, and Irish Barra oats. It is triple distilled on custom copper pot stills crafted by Arnold Holstein in Germany. The spirit is then aged for 5 years in a combination of single use Kentucky bourbon casks, and Sherry Oloroso barrels. The whiskey is blended and not chill filtrated before bottling at 86 proof.
