A cask of whiskey from The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. and Whiskey & Wealth Club
Description
An extremely rare and exciting opportunity to win a rare Bourbon cask of Irish single malt from the company behind the world’s most expensive whiskey and the World’s Best Irish Single Malt, The Craft Irish Whiskey Co.; the holy grail of cask investments by Whiskey & Wealth Club.
Formed in 2018 by Irish entrepreneur Jay Bradley, The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. was born from a desire to return premium Irish whiskey to the heights it once enjoyed. To achieve such a goal has taken a complete reimagining of the craft; honouring centuries of tradition but questioning convention and adding scientific understanding to reinvent the maturation of the whiskey. No expense is spared, no corners are cut.
To elevate Irish whiskey's potential, The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. has looked to the past, revisiting the art of whiskey-making perfected by the country's master distillers. While the rise of mass production and blends has pushed this art to one side, the company is invested in restoring it by adding scientific knowledge and a willingness to push boundaries. Underfilling the barrels allows maturation to start at once. Adding water before maturation, or before finishing, allows the water and whiskey to marry over time and avoids the need to dilute the single malt before bottling. The whiskeys are bottled at cask strength to preserve the complex flavour profiles and rich viscosity. Using ultra-premium finishing barrels to mature the single malt delivers rich, rounded notes, while a deep understanding of barrel craft ensures the barrels are moved, rotated and the whiskey disgorged into new ones to create a bespoke journey. The whiskeys are accompanied by skilfully designed and scientifically-perfected accessories that deliver a whiskey experience worthy of the liquid.
In 2021, The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. became the most awarded new company of the year amassing a total of seventeen awards across both Taste and Design for four of its ultra-rare whiskey releases. Its inaugural release, The Devil’s Keep, was judged world’s Best Irish Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2022, while its second release, The Emerald Isle achieved a record-breaking $2,000,000 at auction. The company has partnered with Fabergé, Michelin Guide, MJ Jones, and SWM and is the Official Premium Whiskey Supplier of Ascot & Royal Ascot as well as sponsoring The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. Plate Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. is the exclusive Michelin Plaque Distribution Partner for The Michelin Guide Star Revelation Great Britain and Ireland 2022 and its ultra rare single malts can be found on the menus of Michelin-starred restaurants across the country, including Restaurant Gordon Ramsay; Petrus by Gordon Ramsay; The Waterside Inn; Le Manoir; Frog by Adam Handling; Kitchen Table; and The Hand & Flowers.
Jay Bradley says “ We are nowhere near where we will be in the coming years. We have massive plans and an ambitious, dedicated team to ensure we achieve them. Huge collaborations with the world's most iconic brands, being served table side at some of the world's top 3 Michelin star restaurants, a distillery firmly in the works, an exclusive retail deal with Selfridges and lots more to come. This is just the beginning. Getting a cask of our whiskey today, in my eyes, is comparable to buying one from The Macallan in the early 1990’s, and likely even better.”
