New Distillery Host First Local Tasting

Ahascragh Distillery recently hosted their first tasting event in Brewery Lane, Ballinasloe, to mark the launch of their newest whiskey releases. Joined by local businesses, supporters and whiskey enthusiasts, they kick-started St Patrick’s Day celebrations with a fantastic selection of tastings. Some of the proceeds from the event will be donated to UNICEF’s campaign to support the Children of Ukraine.
 
Earlier that day, Ahascragh Distillery released two unique 20 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskeys. These exceptional whiskeys have been finished in Italian Amarone Red Wine casks and Spanish Pedro Ximénez White Wine casks. Guests at the event were some of the very first people to taste these premium whiskeys.
 
The Pedro Ximénez cask finish brings a new level of depth and complexity to this remarkable liquid. Toasted nuts, figs, raisins and dark chocolate enhance the palette and build to a rich, long finish. 
 
Finishing in the Amarone cask elevates this exceptional whiskey to new heights of texture and flavour. Red fruits, milk chocolate and nutmeg explode on the palate and lead to a lasting, velvet finish.
 
Last year, Ahascragh Distillery launched 5 products in the Family Bond Series including three Clan Colla Irish whiskeys, UAIS Irish Whiskey and Xin Gin. The introduction of these new Single Malt releases ensures that there is something for everyone. The collection now ranges from super premium Irish whiskeys with unique flavours and depth to more accessible spirits for casual whiskey drinkers.
 
Gareth McAllister, Ahascragh Distillery’s Founder said “I am delighted to see the Clan Colla collection continue to expand. We have hand-selected some of the highest quality aged malt available, finished it in exceptional casks that elevate the flavour and texture and bottled it in our home in the West of Ireland. It was a privilege to share our newest whiskeys with local supporters and friends. These premium releases are designed to seal bonds and celebrate unforgettable moments and occasions.”
 
Founders, Gareth and Michelle McAllister also announced some exciting news on the night. Their Xin Gin was recently awarded a gold medal at the International Wine and Spirits Awards and a bronze medal at the World Gin Awards for Best Contemporary Irish gin. Clan Colla 11 Year Old Blend and 19 Year Old Single Malt also won silver medals at the International Wine and Spirits Awards.
 
Clan Colla Irish Whiskey, UAIS Irish Whiskey and Xin Gin are available locally from Carry Out Ballinasloe, Grenham’s Off License, McCambridge’s of Galway and online via Celtic Whiskey Shop and Irish Malts.
