In this award-winning Keeper's Heart Irish + American whiskey, Irish whiskey is blended with American Rye whiskey. We combine the unique qualities of Irish grain and single-pot still whiskeys with American Rye whiskey for a remarkable drinking experience.

For this specific release, world-renowned Master Distiller Brian Nation has finished his Irish + American whiskey in a stout barrel to deliver a unique limited-edition cask strength expression for ReserveBar. The stout finish enhances the creaminess of the mouthfeel while adding some wonderful coffee chocolate notes to the whiskey, which gives a lift to the overall nose and taste experience.
