The Bespoke Bridge Bundle

Lough Ree Distillery has launched another special and rare bottle with the Bridge Saints Island Single Cask Release. Distilled at Bushmills Distillery in bourbon barrels for 6 and a half years, it's transferred to Old Amontillado Dulce Sherry Casks for an extra 22 months. It's rich in flavour with notes of rich dark chocolate, espresso coffee, hazelnuts and dried fruit.

On the western shore of Lough Ree, on St. John’s Point peninsula, lies the abandoned medieval town of Rindoon. Built in the early 13th century, and estimated to have a population in its heyday of 1,000 people ( the population of London at the time was 20,000), it was a significant Anglo-Norman settlement of its time. Its a fascinating place, which unfortunately is closed to the public now, but having got a tour around it many years ago its definitely worth looking up.

And as a special place, we’ve named a very special Whiskey after it for our latest release of The Bridge series – limited to 306 bottles.
