This latest release which follows on from their inaugural Keeper's Heart Irish + American bottling in 2021, is the result of a collaboration between Master Distiller Brian Nation and Keeper's Heart Liquid Collaborator and Adviser David Perkins.
Brian Nation joined the O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company to
create Keeper's Heart in 2020. Previously, he had been Master Distiller for
Irish Distillers, working with brands including Jameson, Redbreast and
Midleton. David Perkins, founded High West distillery and created several
innovative award-winning American whiskeys.
Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon, is said to be characterized
by aromas of rich caramel and baked pecan pie with peppery herbal notes, sweet
with vanilla malt and cocoa that delivers a lingering and pleasant, sweet rich
wood character.
Commenting on the launch, Brian Nation, said: "My favourite
part about my job is the opportunity to collaborate and create something new,
something rooted in wonderful traditions but with a unique new take. That's
exactly what we did with Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon. This whiskey is a
great addition to our range, and one whiskey novices and aficionados alike will
enjoy. The quality and versatility of the whiskey ensures that it is great
tried neat or in a cocktail, such as the Manhattan, where the unique flavour
creates something familiar yet altogether new."
Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon, is now available from select
specialist retailers in the US, for a RRP of $54.99.
