Review: The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey
The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey was launched February 2018 in New York and New Jersey. Irish Whiskey Master Distiller Darryl McNally of the Dublin Liberties Distillery teamed up with Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry Co-Founders of the award winning bar, The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog, to create the spirit. This New York bar holds the largest collection of Irish Whiskey in North America, and was twice named the number one bar in the world. The Dublin Liberties Distillery is located in a building which was once a tannery where rabbit fur was processed. They also produce The Dubliner line of Irish whiskey. Dead Rabbit takes its name from the notorious Irish immigrant street gang in New York City of the same name. Its leader John Morrissey would later become a Democratic Congressman and Senator. The Dead Rabbit is made from a blend of Irish single malt and grain whiskeys. It is aged for five years in bourbon casks and then finishes in small half size 24 gallon virgin oak casks made by Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville Kentucky especially for this spirit. The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog and The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey has generated a lot of hype, so I am excited to finally get my hands on a bottle of their Irish Whiskey. Read more
