Fitzwilliam Irish Blended Whiskey is a fusion of flavours giving a unique tasting experience. All components have been distilled three times in Ireland and then combined into one product. New American casks are used on the Grain Whiskey to bring out powerful vanilla flavours. American Rye Whiskey casks are then used to add aroma and spice. Stout beer barrels bring notes of coffee and chocolate before finishing with a hint of peat giving a long, smoky finish. It is a complex and sophisticated blend, with each component adding a new layer of flavour.
Distilled at The Great Northern Distillery in Ireland, Fitzwilliam Whiskeys is an independent BBC Spirits bottling.

The Great Northern Distillery

The Great Northern Distillery produces two types (and five variants) of new fill whiskey : Malt Whiskey (Triple- Distilled, Double Distilled, Irish Pot Still and Peated) along with a Grain Whiskey (primarily used for Blended Irish Whiskey). Malt whiskey is produced by batch mashing, fermentation and distillation. Grain whiskey is produced by continuous cooking and mashing, batch fermentation and continuous distillation. Raw materials for the production of whiskey are sourced from France and from the Island of Ireland. The non-GM Maize is grown in the Bordeaux region of France and shipped into the harbour in the town of Dundalk. Barley is sourced within Ireland and converted into Malt by a local Maltster.
