Kinsale Spirit Spanish Earl Single Malt Irish Whiskey
€49,95 Incl. VAT
The Spanish Earl Single Malt Irish Whiskey begins its maturation in former Bourbon barrels for nearly four years before being divided into two different finishing casks: one previously holding Imperial stout and the other, aged golden Jamaican rum. These two varieties of triple-distilled malt Irish whiskey are later blended together after a minimum of three months of separate aging and then bottled. The stout influence pays homage to Juan del Aguila’s association with Cork, a city with a centuries-old reputation for stout production, while the rum adds a sweet toffee note to the stout’s dark chocolate profile.
‘Born without fear,’ in 1545, Juan del Aguila served with valour, commanding armies across Europe and Africa.
He fought alongside Red Hugh O Donnell and The Great Earl during an arduous, two month campaign at the Battle of Kinsale, the ultimate battle in England’s conquest of Gaelic Ireland and the climax of the Nine Years’ War.
During this time, he lodged in Portney’s Lane, Cork, and was a popular figure with locals. This influences the stout finish of Spanish Earl Single Malt Irish Whiskey, combined with a hint of rum ageing, for extra sweetness and nose.
Returning to Spain, helping wounded troops from his own funds, he died, bruised but not beaten, in 1602.
