Crafting Authentic Irish Whiskey – Our Commitment to Quality

At James J. Fox, crafting authentic handcrafted Irish blends is more than a process; it’s a commitment to quality that defines every bottle in our collection. Our approach embraces traditional whiskey making in Ireland, where natural aging, small-batch production, and time-honoured techniques come together to create something truly unique. Each of our whiskeys reflects the Fox legacy, promising a premium Irish whiskey experience that stands out for its depth, purity, and character.

Quality is our priority. We collaborate with select distilleries to craft our whiskeys.

We believe that a truly high-quality whiskey should be as natural as possible, which is why we use no added colouring, allowing each bottle’s character to emerge from the careful cask aging alone.

Our commitment to small-batch Irish whiskey ensures that each bottle receives the attention it deserves, reflecting our belief that every detail counts. For us, creating quality whiskey isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about staying true to our roots and honouring the time-tested methods that make traditional Irish whiskey so exceptional. With James J.

Tasting Notes and How to Enjoy the James J. Fox Irish Whiskey Range

Exploring the James J. Fox whiskey range is a journey through the rich and diverse world of Irish whiskey flavours. Each bottle is crafted to highlight unique characteristics—from floral and creamy to rich and spiced—that can be appreciated on their own or elevated through whiskey and cigar pairings.

For those beginning with our James J. Fox Single Grain Irish Whiskey, this light and floral whiskey opens with aromas of citrus and hints of crème brûlée. Its smooth, honeyed finish is complemented beautifully by a cigar with a similar sweetness. We recommend pairing it with a Por Larrañaga Petit Corona for its honeyed and earthy notes, or for something slightly bolder, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2, whose delicate cedar and creamy undertones bring out the whiskey’s softer, botanical elements. These cigars harmonize with the whiskey’s gentle flavours, creating a balanced pairing experience.

The James J. Fox Single Malt Irish Whiskey offers a richer profile, aged in sherry and stout casks to bring out bold notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and sweet tobacco. For a complementary pairing, try the Montecristo No. 4 with its earthy leather notes and a hint of coffee, enhancing the whiskey’s depth. Alternatively, the Partagas Serie D No. 4 provides a full-bodied experience, its spiciness and complex flavours matching the richness of this single malt. Each of these cigars accentuates the whiskey’s bold, layered profile, creating a tasting experience that is both robust and satisfying.

Finally, our James J. Fox Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is ideal for those who appreciate spiced Irish whiskey. With pot still spices, plum pudding, and nutmeg, this whiskey pairs well with a cigar that has a slightly sweet and spiced profile. The Fox House Blend Piramides offers a balanced sweetness with earthy undertones, making it a fine choice to highlight the whiskey’s warm, fruity notes. For a richer option, the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill with its creamy and nutty flavours adds another layer of complexity, enhancing the whiskey’s sherry-influenced depth and spice.

Whether you’re exploring tasting Irish whiskey or seeking the perfect whiskey and cigar pairings, the James J. Fox range and these selected cigars offer a sophisticated journey through flavour, tradition, and craftsmanship.
