The Shed Distillery Unveils Drumshanbo Tawny Port Cask Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

The 7-Year-Old Tawny Port Cask is the third iteration of Drumshanbo’s Single Pot Still Whiskey Collection

New York, NY - February 27th, The Shed Distillery, known for creating exceptional, award-winning spirits, has revealed its latest release, Drumshanbo Tawny Port Cask Single Pot Still Whiskey. The special and rare limited-release is now available at select retailers nationwide for $79.99 for a 700mL. 

Drumshanbo Tawny Port Cask Single Pot Still Whiskey is a 7-year-old Irish Whiskey that has been triple distilled with the finest malted Irish barley, unmalted Irish barley, and Irish Barra oats. It is then carefully matured in Tawny Port casks, enhancing its rich and complex character.  

At 43% ABV / 86 Proof, the Tawny Port Cask release has a warm aroma of almonds and walnuts with deeper undernotes of red fruits and toffee. On the palate, ripe summer cherries, apricots, and crème brûlée swirl with subtle pot spice. The delectable Tawny Port whiskey flows deliciously in the background from the very first sip. Lingering pot spices descend with the subtle sweetness of nougat and candied fruits, balanced by a creamy velvet mouthfeel.

“When the ambition is to create world-class Irish Whiskey, there can be no deadline. We, as curators, must be patient as truly extraordinary whiskeys evolve at their own pace,” notes PJ Rigney, Founder of The Shed Distillery.

In 2014, The Shed Distillery was the first Irish distillery to open in the Western province of Connacht in over 100 years. Renowned for his adventurous spirit and deep-rooted passion for travel, Founder PJ Rigney channels his global explorations into a profound appreciation for his native Ireland—culminating in the distinctly Irish character that defines every drop of Drumshanbo Irish Whiskey. 

The Shed recommends enjoying Drumshanbo Tawny Port Cask Single Pot Still Whiskey neat or on the rocks.
