The Gael - Blended Irish Whiskey
The Gael is blended from mature Irish single-malt whiskeys and single-grain Irish whiskey to produce the fruity cornucopia you might expect from Irish whiskey but with extra levels of complexity from maturation in living oak. It’s a promise of things to come, style-wise, from the bonded rackhouse at J.J. Corry, as well as being an award-winning whiskey in itself.
So far it has taken gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Awards, the Irish Whiskey Awards, the World Whiskies Awards and the International Spirits Challenge, as well as being judged 10/10 by Malt Review.
Reviving the lost art of bonding
Louise McGuane has revived the lost art of whiskey bonding, becoming the first licensed bonder in Ireland in living memory. She ages new-make spirit in the rackhouse on the family farm, located just six miles from the ocean on the west of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Unusually for Irish whiskey, the casks live the old-fashioned way, as they are supposed to, on their sides, raised off a dunnage floor and breathing an air rich from the sea, the lush green grazing grass and peat bogs, and the wild flowers and mosses growing in the cracks in the limestone karst of the Burren National Park.
Mezcal Amores have one simple philosophy: to strive always towards a balanced relationship with their ecosystem. This is why they exist. It is why they produce their mezcal following a holistic cycle “From seed to sip”. The Amores Philosophy stems from caring consciously for the earth, for the environment and for the people who make each drop of mezcal possible.
Mezcal Amores believe firmly in a better world, and they pursue this vision by empowering their teams and embracing local communities, by supporting local agave farmers (agaveros) and Master Distillers (Maestros Mezcaleros), because they understand that these are the guardians of their Mezcals. To preserve the past, Mezcal Amores look to the future, advancing a sustainable business model today, with their eyes on their impact tomorrow.
True to their philosophy, Mezcal Amores allocate as much as 20% of each bottle's net sale to the development of internal initiatives promoting social and environmental responsibility. These initiatives range from purchasing artisanal mezcal at a fair price, to providing state-of-the-art training for local distillers, from rescuing and protecting wild agave species, to sowing new seed using only organic practices.
Mezcal Amores' vision focuses on evolving, growing and adapting through the promotion of an artisanal mezcal supply chain, as well as on supporting an environmental model aimed at minimal impact and committed to continual innovation.
