Blacks Irish Whiskey Black Smoke

Located on the Wild Atlantic Way (a scenic route in the south of Ireland), The Blacks Brewery was started in 2013. A family run company, it is owned and operated by Sam & Maudeline Black (hence the name!).

Their ethos was to create (initially) beers which weren't mass market. They wanted products with passion and personality. In 2015 they decided to expand and added a state-of-the-art distillery which allowed them to produce spirits as well. Their first was gin, which was followed in 2018 with the first Irish Rum, and then in 2020 with whiskey.

This cross-over also allow them to age their beers in spirit barrels, and vice versa - adding additional depths of flavour to their drinks.

Blacks' whiskies are distilled in two copper stills, Morrigan and Bonny. They then mature the whiskies in a variety of different cask types depending on the finished whisky. They do all their own milling, mashing, fermenting and distilling themselves - which ensures the quality they expect from the final products.

With their Black Smoke edition, Blacks have created a powerful Irish Whiskey which is bursting with rich peaty smoke and sweet oak. With a long and lingering finish, this is definitely for those that enjoy a lingering finish!

On the nose the smokey peatiness almost jumps out at you, before being joined with floral heather and hints of honey and oak. On the palate there is a silky smoothness, and a toffee like sweetness. These are followed with complex malt flavours, stoned fruits before developing into intense full-bodied peat. The finish is long and lingering, leaving holden honey notes and deep peat coating the mouth.
