Take the dare and try a new Irish whiskey that just hit the market because, damn, is it good!
Created by Dan O’Shevlin, a whiskey aficionado with a background in biochemistry, this spirit celebrates daring individuality and a unique taste profile that is sure to appeal to a new generation of whiskey lovers.
The idea for Triple Dog Irish Whiskey was born in a small Dublin pub, where a group of whiskey makers was passionately debating how to make traditional Irish whiskey more appealing to the next generation of whiskey drinkers. The conversation escalated, leading to the ultimate of pub challenges: the formidable “Triple Dog Dare.” O’Shevlin, taking on the challenge, created a new breed of Irish whiskey that is aptly named Triple Dog.
Triple Dog Irish Whiskey consists of O’Shevlin’s proprietary blend of whiskey created with the original 1916 formula and refined with contemporary distillation techniques. It is distilled in Dundalk, County Louth, a coastal county on the Irish Sea that has a heritage of making proper Irish whiskeys dating back to 1708. With access to the purest water from the nearby Cooley Mountains and generations of local whiskey artisans, O’Shevlin tirelessly honed batch after batch until the final blend of Triple Dog was perfected.
Triple Dog Irish Whiskey is made from a blend of the finest Irish malted and unmalted grains, triple-distilled in copper pot and copper column stills. This deliciously distinctive whiskey is bottled at 40% ABV / 80 proof, making it an incredibly approachable whiskey to drink neat, over ice, or in a cocktail. It has a sweet aroma of toasted caramel, and a rich palette of crème brûlée, honey, and cracked vanilla bean, followed by a defined citrus finish. Each bottle contains a spirit aged at least five years in French oak casks.
With its modern taste profile, Triple Dog has been making impressions on the most discerning of whiskey palates—from long-time whiskey drinkers to expert judges to the most recent whiskey enthusiasts. This pedigreed Irish spirit is also outrageously smooth, making it a true disruptor in the world of Irish whiskey.
The eye-catching bottle features a spiked leather dog collar on the neck to symbolize the daring and rebellious spirit of the brand, as well as its love for dogs. Once tasted, Triple Dog Irish Whiskey is sure to become a favorite among whiskey fans, old and new.
