The first blend to come out of Blackwater. They wanted to bring some love back to the category which is sadly neglected in Ireland. So neglected you will even struggle to find the category ‘Blended’ on a bottle. The term is not obligatory, as the multi-nationals are slightly ashamed to look it in the eye. Blackwater are not. This blend rocks.
What’s in the bottle? 45% Blackwater produced single malt, 45% Blackwater produced pot still (both five years old) and 10% seven-year-old grain whiskies, finished in stout casks from local Hopfully Brewing Company. This blend contains every permissible grain (barley, malt, wheat, oat, rye and maize), every type of Irish whisky (malt, pot still, grain) and then there’s the stout. What could be more Irish? Nothing. Except perhaps some black pudding but that’s not allowed.
As with all Blackwater products, it’s not chill filtered or coloured.
