The fighting 69th has long celebrated its Irish heritage, and in this tradition, we bring you their first Irish Whiskey. In the 19th century, Irish whiskey was the most popular spirit in the world, and today, it is the fastest growing whiskey category in the world. This fine whiskey is a tribute to the Irish-American spirit and a perfect tribute to America’s own Irish Brigade!
We use only the finest high quality distilling grains. Our mash bill consists of the finest barley and malted barley, which gives Irish whiskey its unique and distinctive character. We use a variety of mash bills and complete the minimum 3 year aging process in bourbon casks. We then create a variety of distillates using unique secondary cask finishing.
Our whiskey is triple-distilled in handmade copper pot stills, uniquely designed for maximum vapor and copper interaction. Our Fighting 69th Irish whiskey is a unique and superb blend of three distinct distillates, which undergo separate finishing processes. We then choose which finishes, in the right proportions, create the optimal blend.
All of our whiskies are matured in once used bourbon casks for a minimum of 3 years. We then secondarily finish our whiskies in a variety of other casks, including Single-Char casks, Double-Char casks, Oloroso Sherry casks, Rum casks, and Port casks. This uniquely finished blend results in a fine distillate that is both of robust character and a full smooth finish, a fitting tribute to the Fighting 69th Regiment!

SCENT & FLAVOR

NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
ORIGINS
