The Dubliner 10 Year Old lands in US

Quintessential Brands has launched The Dubliner 10 Year Old, the newest addition to the Irish whiskey range, in more than 20 states across the US.

The variant was first introduced to Dublin Airport in April 2016

The liquid was first introduced to Dublin Airport in April 2016, and will now be available in a variety of key US markets including New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington DC, Colorado and Texas.

Made from 100% malted barley, the liquid is distilled in copper pot stills and matured in oak casks that previously held Kentucky Bourbon.

“We are delighted to launch a limited release single malt, which has been distilled in the great tradition of Dublin whiskey making, to the United States,” said master distiller Darryl McNally.

“We lay the whiskey to rest for 10 years in casks that previously held Kentucky Bourbons and carefully hand select each cask, to give a smooth, rounded finish that lingers long on the palate and in the heart. There’s no city like Dublin, no whiskey like The Dubliner.”

The whiskey line pays homage to the history of distilling in Dublin, which dates back more than 500 years, and is named in homage to the people of Dublin, known as ‘Dubliners’.

“The Dubliner Irish Whiskey had an incredible start launching at Dublin Airport last year and sales to date have been really encouraging,” said Sinead O’Frighil, marketing director of The Dublin Liberties Distillery.

“We are thrilled to be introducing this limited-edition expression to The Dubliner range. The growth of Irish whiskies is at an exciting stage and we have high hopes for our approachable and smooth 10-year-old single ,alt in selected domestic markets and travel retail locations internationally. It’s a beautiful whiskey.”

The Dubliner 10 Year Old is bottled at 42% abv, and is currently available in 750ml bottles with the RRP of US$49.99 per 750ml.

In the US, Quintessential Brands North America and Dubliner Irish Whiskey works in partnership with importer Prestige Beverage Group.
