J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey Releases The Chosen - A 27-Year-Old Single Cask, Single Malt Irish Whiskey
COORACLARE, Ireland, Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

A Luxury Whiskey and Design Collaboration Between J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey, J. 
Hill's Standard Crystal and John Galvin Design

Ireland's first modern Whiskey Bonder, J.J. Corry, has launched The Chosen, a 
27-Year-Old Single Cask, Single Malt Irish Whiskey, in collaboration with 
contemporary Irish design houses, J. Hill's Standard and John Galvin Design. 

The 27-Year-Old Single Cask, Single Malt Irish Whiskey is presented in 100 
individually hand cut J. Hill's Standard crystal decanters and hand carved ash 
wood cabinets fashioned by John Galvin Design. The Chosen will retail for 6,500 
Pounds and is available internationally from Bordeaux 
Index[https://www.biwine.com/], Fine & Rare[https://www.frw.co.uk/] and in 
Ireland at The Celtic Whiskey Shop[https://www.celticwhiskeyshop.com/].

The design of the decanter and cabinet echoes the dune grass of the local 
beaches of the Wild Atlantic Way, home to J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey. Every 
crystal decanter is hand cut in Waterford by J. Hill's Standard, contemporary 
crystal design house founded by Anike Tyrell, while the ash wood cabinet is the 
creation of master craftsman John Galvin, a native of Cork. Both Irish design 
houses share a respect for traditional Irish crafts while interpreting them in 
a contemporary fashion, similar to the ethos of J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey. 

Founder of J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey Louise McGuane commented: "The Chosen is a 
celebration of excellence in Irish Whiskey and contemporary Irish design.  
Irish Whiskey has not been celebrated for its quality and rarity, as perhaps 
other categories have. We have some of the finest mature stock of whiskey in 
the world and yet I feel the industry undersells itself. I wanted to change 
that. Our approach to making Irish Whiskey celebrates tradition, embraces 
change and has the modern whiskey drinker front of mind.  All of this is 
reflected in The Chosen". 

"We are curators of casks and creators of individual whiskey flavours. We 
constantly source and taste, knowing the personality of each cask that we own. 
Every cask in our custom built rackhouse has a different story and destiny. 
Occasionally we come across such an exceptional cask that it merits its own 
unique release and this was the case with The Chosen. We waited until the cask 
reached its absolute peak of maturation before we released it," she added.

"The rugged landscape of Co. Clare where J.J. Corry matures and blends whiskey 
also boasts many important grasslands and is an internationally recognised 
habitat for wildlife. The bespoke grass-cut on the decanters and cabinets 
reflects the close bond between this special whiskey house and the environment 
in which it is perfected. It has been a great pleasure to be part of its 
realisation."

Tasting Notes 

Rich and superbly elegant with notes of toffee, rancio, dried mango and 
chestnut. This palate of intensely ripe fruits is complimented by incense and a 
luscious oily texture. The finish is long with just a touch of smoke. The 
Single Malt Irish Whiskey is bottled at cask strength at 52%.
