Jack Ryan Whiskey

 

The Ryan family have run the Beggars Bush pub since 1913, and have a long intertwined history with whiskey. The family’s whiskey history goes back generations, first with Thomas Ryan and then his son Jack.  In the 1820s, John learned his craft in the Limerick Distillery (later Walker’s), before moving to manage Birch’s in Roscrea, Tipperary. Thomas and Ryan sourced select Dublin whiskey, ageing it in ex-sherry and ex-port casks, before bottling their own “Ryan’s Malt”.

The current generation of Ryans have gone back into the whiskey business, producing award winning whiskeys since 2013. We are proud to offer an excellent range of Jack Ryan single malt whiskeys at fantastic prices we know you will love

Fine Wines Direct UK are on a continual quest to bring you, the drinker, the most high quality wines and spirits for the best prices.

What is Irish whiskey?

Irish whiskey is different from other types of whisky, such as Scotch or Tennessee. Firstly, Irish whiskey is spelled with an e! There are also a number of other practises that must be followed for a whiskey to qualify as Irish:

  • Location: Such as Champagne can only be made in the French region of Champagne, Irish whiskey has to be distilled and matured on the island of Ireland. This includes the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
  • Triple distillation: The traditional practice is to triple distil Irish Whiskey: triple distillation produces a lighter and smoother spirit. The majority of Scottish and American distilleries double distil their spirits.
  • Casks: Irish Single Malt whiskey must be aged in oak for at least three years, and must be distilled from a mash of nothing other than malted barley at a single distillery.

Irish whiskey has a distinct flavour profile; drinkers can typically expect flavour profiles that are light and fruity. Their ABV is usually between 40-60%. Single malt Irish whiskey such as that produced by Jack Ryan is made from 100 percent malted barley, this whiskey is produced by a single distillery in a pot still.

 

What’s the difference between single malt and blended whiskey?

There is often confusion around the word ‘single’ when referring to single malt whiskey. Many people assume it means that the whiskey comes from a single batch or even a single barrel, but that is not the case. A single malt whiskey just needs to come from a single distillery.

This is in contrast with blended whiskey, which involves blending different types of whiskeys with less expensive spirits and other ingredients.

When single malt whiskey is aged in oak barrels, a variety of factors can affect the final character of the spirit. These can include differences in climate, where the barrel is situated within the warehouse and the quality of the oak used to make the barrel. Because of this, many single malt whiskeys on the market today are made by mixing a variety of barrels together to achieve a consistent product that lines up with the brand. Distilleries have their own master blenders who taste from each barrel and mix them together to create the perfect final spirit.
