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. This 10-year-old single grain is a triple-distilled whiskey from an undisclosed distillery, aged in bourbon barrels.
Aroma: mild, spring meadow, vanilla, honey, apples, pears, banana cake, a touch of cinnamon and toasted oak.
Palate : vanilla, caramel popcorn, bananas, pineapples, cinnamon, a hint of cloves and lemongrass and a light bitterness of oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of vanilla, caramel, bananas, sweet bread, a trace of hay and toasted oak.
