SINGLE FARM.

SINGLE VINTAGE.

MIXED MASH BILL.

IRISH WHISKEY.

At BURTOWN BONDED we have a very specific approach to whiskey making, one guided heavily by the land, the weather and fate.

It begins, as it always should, with the land. All our grain comes from our fields around Burtown House and always will. We farm organically, regeneratively and always with nature in mind. Each year we sow our mix of grains. Mostly barley, this year a good portion of oats, next year maybe wheat or rye. Whatever grows and we harvest becomes our recipe or “mash bill”. For our first vintage looks something like 85% barley and 15% oats. Of the barley roughly half will be malted. With this process we achieve what many would consider a “Heritage Pot Still” style of whiskey, one unique to Ireland.

Our grains are then mashed and distilled with careful attention paid to the preservation of natural oils and flavours. For maturation we favour heavily sweet and fortified wines from the Iberian Peninsula and islands. For cask sourcing we go direct to producers and cooperages to ensure the highest quality and most interesting flavours. The minimum legal duration of maturation for whiskey in Ireland is three years, however we set our minimum at five, we feel this will give exceptional results with our combination of whiskey style and wood selection.

We are just as keen as you to see where this journey will take us and we invite you to join us.
