NOW LET US INTRODUCE YOU TO… GRACE O’MALLEY

Ireland’s award-winning premium whiskey and spirits brand, Grace O’Malley, have just launched their flagship whiskey into the UK market – right in time for St Patrick’s Day.

Dedicated to the legendary, 16th-century pirate queen, Grace O’Malley was a fearless seafarer who broke with the conventions of her time. #boss

And her namesake Irish whiskey – boasting one of the highest malt contents in the blended whiskey category at 46% – is sure to follow in her trailblazing footsteps, giving us a smooth complexity we’ve certainly never tasted before.

So if cocktails aren’t really your thing, but you’re still after something a little special this St Patrick’s Day, why not give Grace a whirl? Tasting notes include caramel, bourbon vanilla, dry almond, orange peel and honey – anything but ordinary.

How to drink it:

Grace O’Malley Blended Irish Whiskey is incredible served neat or on the rocks.

Equally, it makes for a perfect base for a classic Old Fashioned, a Whiskey Sour and a Whiskey Highball.
