Best Irish single malt whiskey (12 years & younger)
- Irish Whiskey Awards 2014. Jack Ryan ' Beggars Bush' Single Malt Irish Whiskey 46% has been aged for 12 years, with no chill filtration, allowing the true flavours of the whiskey to be retained. The whiskey has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels h&-picked by the family themselves, to deliver a unique taste. The golden amber glow & nose of sweet, oaky vanilla, sets you up for a delicious mouthful of silky, honey sweetness with a long, warm-hearted, lingering, spicy finish. The Ryan family have long associations with Irish Whiskey going back to a time when they bottled their own Ryan's Malt which they produced in association with The Dublin Whiskey Distillery until the famous distillery closed its doors in 1946. To celebrate the Ryan's Beggars Bush 100th Year Anniversary in 2013, the family identified an opportunity to revive their Jack Ryan's Malt.
