Lambay Irish Whiskey, by means of a brand new collaboration, is about to launch a limited-edition Reserve Cask Sequence of single malts.
Created with family-owned cognac maker Camus and the Baring Household’s Revelstoke Belief, Lambay Irish Whiskey is a mix of what’s described as historical Irish whiskey making and 5 generations of French Cognac mixing and maturation experience.
Eire’s Lambay Island is a singular location, simply three miles off the coast of Dublin, Eire. It’s a playground for puffins, a sanctuary for seabirds, and the adopted house of a troupe of wallabies.

Lambay Island can be house to the whiskey’s bonded warehouse, the Sea Cask Room, which sits open to the micro-climate of maritime winds and sea pollens on Lambay.
The resting casks there, it’s mentioned, successfully take in the island’s maritime circumstances of iodine, sea spray, and salt that enrich the model’s oak cognac casks with complicated style profiles.
The whiskey is born from independently sourced single malts used to create the brand new, three-part Reserve Cask Sequence.
Lambay Whiskey Single Malt – Batch 01 is the primary batch of the collection, restricted to 10,000 bottles. It’s out there in Eire, Denmark, France, The Netherlands, China, and Japan and in addition at www.shoplambaywhiskey.com. Batch 02 is about to launch on the finish of 2022 and Batch 03 on the finish of 2023.
“This collection is designed to push the boundaries for our whiskey followers to style the range of cask finishes we are able to create in our single malts,” mentioned Sabine Sheehan, international model ambassador for Lambay Whiskey, in a ready assertion. “Our first Lambay Single Malt launch in 2018 was an enormous success with its floral, tropical notes and lingering sweetness attracting new whiskey drinkers to Lambay.”
She mentioned that oak, tobacco, salt and peat will problem the normal candy, floral and mellow profile they’ve had earlier than, opening as much as new shoppers that desire these style profiles.
The distiller’s notes clarify that Batch 01 comprises a better share of island matured Lambay Single Malt, delivering a extra intense salty be aware. The only malt consists of each first-fill and second-fill cognac cask ending, which creates a extra intense mouthfeel of spice, tobacco, and pepper on the palette.
Blended with single malt from their Island warehouse, the whiskey has smoky attributes with slight salinity and a lingering end that balances the oak and herb notes.
Earlier than bottling at 43% ABV, the island’s personal Trinity Nicely water is added within the remaining flourish.
