The Irishman Cask Strength 2020 Edition

Irish Whiskey from an undisclosed distillery

Walsh Whiskey, which is behind the Irishman and Writers' Tears brands, was founded in Co Carlow in 1999 by husband-and-wife team, Bernard and Rosemary Walsh. The company’s brands are sold in over 50 countries.

In 2019 the firm announced the end of its partnership with Illva Sarrono, the Italian drinks company, which had invested in Walsh Whiskey in 2013, with a new distillery opening in Carlow in 2016. In 2021 Amber Beverage Group acquired the firm, with Mr. Walsh remaining as managing director.

The Irishman Vintage Cask 2020 edition is the 12th release since it debuted in 2008 becoming the first triple-distilled Cask Strength Irish whiskey released in over half a century. It is matured in American Oak casks, bottled at 55.2% abv, non-chill filtered and no colouring.
