Product description
Kirker Greer Spirits is a relatively young player on the alcoholic beverages market – the company was founded in 2007 by Steven Pattison and Richard Ryan.
The company is based in Belfast, where Archibald Kirker and William Greer started in 1885. At the turn of the century, the original Kirker & Greer Company was a major producer and importer of Irish whiskey and owned the Connswater Distillery. However, the Irish War of Independence and Prohibition in the USA proved to be the proverbial nail in the coffin. Today, Kirker Greer Spirits owns and distributes 10 “brands,” including vodka, gin, rum and whiskey. The Shamrock presented here is a blend of malt and grain distillates aged in bourbon barrels.
Nose: sweet cereals, vanilla, caramel, buttery croissant, apples, pears, white pepper, notes of hay and oak.
Palate: brown sugar, vanilla, milkshake, green apples, gooseberries, mirabelle plums, lemon peel, white pepper and oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of vanilla, honey, country orchard fruit, cinnamon, a touch of pepper and oak.
