Inish Turk Beg has added whiskey to their lineup with “Maiden Voyage” More info and photos after the jump!
“From 22 November, 2010, Inish Turk Beg will be adding a new category, with the launch of its Irish Whiskey
– an aged, Single Malt
– This super-premium innovation in the market is presented in hand-blown ‘Mooring Buoy bottles’ developed on the island (and with each having some island sand in the glass). They derive their shape from traditional glass mooring buoys and floats
– These bottles are a deliberate subversion of traditional whiskey presentations, and speak clearly of the brand’s intention to reposition whiskey as a contemporary and dynamic liquor choice – encapsulated in the whiskey’s tagline, ‘Live Life at a Tilt’ which resonates with the bottles asymmetric shape
– The whiskey is finished in Poitin casks that have lain on the island drinking up the island’s unique atmosphere and climate
– When being reduced from cask strength for bottling, rainwater collected on the island after thousands of miles of being scrubbed clean across the Atlantic, is used to produce 44% strength, full-bodied but easy-drinking whiskey
– All of these elements give the whiskey its distinctive and characterful profile.
The limited edition first bottling will consist of 2,888 one-litre bottles, called ‘Maiden Voyage’. Each has a unique invitation welcoming the purchaser to the World of Inish Turk Beg, and joining its 2,888 Club.”
