I was the first and only female Chieftain ever to be recognised. But my legacy is more than lines on a map. I blazed a trail for intrepid spirits to follow – I burned my name deep in the history books, and folk tales are still being passed on today telling stories about my life. And though that life is over, MY SPIRIT LIVES ON in my whiskey, and my name on the lips of all that enjoy it. So here’s to me, Grace O’Malley, Ireland’s first and last pirate Queen!
Grace O’Malley® Irish Whiskey is a special blend, combining multiple batches of Whiskey of varying age statements from three to ten years old. Each batch of Whiskey is aged perfectly in different bar- rel types including French oak. Casks are hand selected according to each Whiskey’s characteristics, including grain Whiskey aged in once used Bourbon casks and malt Whiskey aged in Rum barrels. The resulting blend delivers a Whiskey perfectly balanced between fruitiness, age character, complexity and smoothness.
