A special release crafted to celebrate International Women's Day 2024, JJ Corry 'The Founders' Vatted Malt is a unique collaboration between two pioneering women in Irish whiskey – Louise McGuane of J.J. Corry and Jennifer Nickerson of Tipperary Boutique Distillery.
This exceptional vatted malt Irish whiskey brings together sherry-aged malts from J.J. Corry’s Flavour Library and home-grown spirits matured in Rioja oak casks from Tipperary Boutique Distillery. The result is a complex and beautifully balanced whiskey that stands out among other single malts and vatted malts. The careful vatting of these two distinct malts creates a whiskey greater than the sum of its parts, offering rich layers of flavour and depth.
This limited-edition Irish whiskey is a highly sought-after collector’s item, with only 132 bottles available under the J.J. Corry label, alongside another 132 bottles with the Tipperary label (listed here).
This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Irish whiskey, celebrating the craftsmanship and innovation of women in the Irish whiskey industry. Available for purchase online with Irish whiskey delivery across Ireland and internationally.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Opens with sweet summer fruits then behind come darker berries and plums a hint of liquorice. With water, the sweeter notes are reduced and more savoury notes come to the fore.
Palate: Toffee, pears plums, dates, some almonds and a hint of liquorice. With water, toffee apples, almonds, sponge cake and plum jam. A hint of sherbet too.
Finish: Long finish with the heavier plums and dark berries lingering. With water, the flavours linger.
