A darker, full bodied, smooth whiskey in the traditional Irish sense. The Millars Special Reserve Irish Whiskey brand originates from a company in Dublin called Adam Millar & Company. The brand was first established in 1843 as a premium Irish Whiskey & was successfully marketed until the 1970s. Millars Special Reserve was known throughout Ireland as a classic Dublin sipping whiskey. The traditional method of drinking such a whiskey was to sip it neat & occasionally drink a bottle of Guinness Stout as well. In 1987, Cooley Distillery, the only independent Irish owned distillery in Ireland acquired the rights to the A. A. Millar brands. However, it wasnt until September 1994 that Cooley formally relaunched Millars Special Reserve Irish Whiskey. The brand reflects the classic atmosphere of the 1920s & 1930s, a time when writers like Joyce, OCasey & Yates raised the Irish spirit & in so doing contributed to the birth of the Irish nation. This is a unique blend of the finest grain & malt Irish whiskeys with exceptional character & superior quality. It is double distilled & matured almost entirely in once used oak bourbon casks. The character of the whiskey comes primarily from the quality malt barley specially chosen to give the whiskey a unique smooth after taste. Millars Special Reserve has been distilled, matured & blended to produce a darker, full bodied, smooth whiskey in the traditional Irish sense. It has been awarded two bronze medals, one at the International Spirits Challenge (May 1996) & the other at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (July 1996). Nose: Sweet grape on the nose joining forces with the grain to offer a lush sweetness alongside the harder, oakier grains. Taste: Very malty start followed by a very powerful grain which is fruity. Not a light whiskey at all. Full mouth feel, slight grapeness with good weight sherry in evidence. Finish: Very favourable bourbon finish feel of a five year old minimum with seven plus. Serving Suggestions: Neat, on the rocks, or with water to taste. Equally good served with mixers or as an ingredient for Irish Coffee. A sipping whiskey for all occasions. ...

Limited stock. On the nose there are delicate tones of fruit & honey combined with vanilla & wood & a hint of coconuts. The palate has rich honey sweetness, delicate spicy notes & a long vanilla oak finish. Millstone Whisky is double distilled in handcrafted copper pot stills. The small stills have an extraordinary large copper surface if you compare them to the large stills used elsewhere. The extra contact between the alcohol vapors & the copper helps to eliminate any unwanted substances & also stimulates the formation of the complex & fruity esters. The small stills thus produce a very delicate & fruity new spirit. After the careful distillation the whisky is aged in small barrels. Millstone use new barrels of American white oak as well as barrels that have previously held Bourbon & Oloroso Sherry. Because they use new or barrels that have been used only 1 time & we store the barrels in a warm & dry warehouse the whisky ages rather quickly. The downside is that the evaporation losses are rather high. Typically the ' Angels Share' is between 4% & 5% per year. ...
