  Celtic Warrior Blended Irish Whiskey 70CL 40%

  Item no.: 0597555-767

  Stone monuments still rise from the Irish landscape, silent witnesses to warriors who once roamed and ruled this land. Celtic Warrior is a tribute to them, a blend drawn from the west of Ireland, where the past and the cask meet in the glass.

  Expert Review

  Celtic Warrior is a Blended Irish Whiskey matured in ex-Bourbon casks, bottled at 40%.

  The whiskey comes from Ahascragh Distillers, the family business behind brands such as Clan Colla and Uais. The distillery is run by husband and wife Gareth and Michelle McAllister, who built Ireland's first zero energy emissions distillery into a restored 19th-century mill in Ahascragh, west of Ballinasloe in County Galway. The whiskey is a blend of several Irish whiskeys, assembled from separate batches and hand-selected casks. The Bourbon cask draws out vanilla, fudge and soft oak tones, keeping the profile approachable rather than heavy.

  The name reaches back to the Celtic warriors who once ruled Ireland, a theme Ahascragh also explores across its other releases, where Irish history and clan stories recur on the labels.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet and creamy from the first sniff, with notes of butterscotch, fudge and soft vanilla.

  Palate

  Sweetness and spice share the lead, while vanilla spreads generously across the palate.

  Finish

  Sweet and lingering, rounded off by toasted oak tones and another dash of vanilla.

  Clan Colla 9 Year Bordeaux Cask Finish Ahascragh Distillery Blended Irish Whiskey 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 0597555-766

  Clan Colla once moved through the west of Ireland, and the name lives on at Ahascragh Distillery in Galway, where Gareth and Michelle McAllister use it to tie their blends to the land's history. This particular release draws its character from the vineyards of Bordeaux rather than the Caribbean.

  Expert Review

  Clan Colla 9 Year Old Bordeaux Cask Finish is a Blended Irish Whiskey from Ahascragh Distillery, matured in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Bordeaux wine casks, bottled at 46%.

  The whiskey belongs to the Family Bond Series, where Ahascragh pairs malt and grain whiskey from ex-Bourbon casks with a finishing period in red Bordeaux wine casks. The combination gives a more refined, wine-driven profile than its younger sibling in the series, where spiced oak meets fruity sweetness from the wine cask.

  The whiskey is bottled non-chill filtered and with natural colour, preserving the full mouthfeel and character drawn from both cask types.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet toffee and brown sugar open things up, with a subtle hint of red fruit lingering behind.

  Palate

  Peppery warmth gives way to a creamy, wine-driven fruitiness, pulling the flavour clearly away from a classic Bourbon-led profile.

  Finish

  Distinct oak character with a gentle vanilla sweetness that lingers.

  Clan Colla Family Bond 11 years old Ahascragh Distillery Blended Irish Whiskey 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 059763-615-330

  Three cask types at once is rare for an Irish blend, but Clan Colla Family Bond 11 Year Old dares to try. The result is a whiskey with more layers than most of its peers.

  Expert Review

  Clan Colla Family Bond 11 Year Old is a Blended Irish Whiskey matured in Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry and peated casks, bottled at 46%.

  The whiskey is a smooth yet complex blend of double distilled malt whiskey combined with grain whiskey.

The expression has previously won gold at the Irish Whiskey Masters and the Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark fruit and sherry sweetness, with a subtle hint of smoke in the background.

  Palate

  Caramel and dried fruit meet a light, smoky spice character from the peated casks.

  Finish

  Long, with cocoa, oak and a lingering smoky note.

  Clan Colla Family Bond 7 years old Rum Cask Finish Blended Irish Whiskey 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 0597555-741

  Inside a 19th-century corn mill at Ahascragh in east Galway, Gareth and Michelle McAllister blend malt and grain into whiskeys that carry their clan's name forward. Clan Colla is the historic lineage the family traces its roots to, and every bottle adds another chapter to that story.

  Expert Review

  Clan Colla 7 Year Old Rum Cask Finish is a Blended Irish Whiskey from Ahascragh Distillery, matured in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Rum casks from Panama, bottled at 46%.

  The whiskey is part of the Family Bond Series, where Ahascragh puts carefully chosen cask finishes to work while the distillery's own new-make spirit matures. Malt and grain whiskey rest first in ex-Bourbon casks, picking up classic sweetness and soft vanilla character, before the Panamanian rum finish adds tropical sweetness and a touch of spice that lifts the profile into more exotic territory.

  The whiskey is bottled non-chill filtered and with natural colour, so the character drawn from the casks comes through in full.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Vanilla, ripe banana and a touch of warm spice settle softly over the glass.

  Palate

  Creamy and round, with dried fruit, honey, coconut and a hint of baking spice that ties the rum cask together with the classic Bourbon backbone.

  Finish

  Warm and gentle, with grain notes and a rum-driven sweetness that lingers.
