| New Cognac finished Irish whiskey brand to launch in the UK |
Both of the new expressions have made with Trinity Well water from Lambay Island and finished in French oak Cognac casks from the cellars of Camus.
Lambay Irish
Whiskey, is a collaboration between Camus, the world’s leading family-owned
Cognac producer, and the Baring Family’s Revelstoke Trust. The new whiskey brand
is said to combine centuries old Irish whiskey distilling expertise with
equally renowned French cognac blending and maturing expertise.
Commenting
on the launch, Jean-David Costerg, Managing Director of Lambay Irish Whiskey,
said: “The UK market is one of our key markets for Lambay Irish Whiskey Company
(LIWC). In a fast-growing Irish whiskey category, consumers today are looking
for genuine and premium products, that are special and created in small
batches, with a sense of history and tradition. LIWC is delighted to partner
with Tortuga Brands and the Lambay Whiskey range will be a great addition to
their craft portfolio and dually give us the right level of focus in a very
competitive and dynamic market.“
Lambay Irish
Whiskey – Small Batch Blend and Single Malt, will be
available later this month from specialist retailers, for the respective RRP’s
of €41,00 and €57,00.
