Natterjack Irish Whiskey's The Mistake Makes Its Official Debut In Award-Winning Whiskey Lineup

Natterjack Irish Whiskey, an award-winning brand that embraces both Irish and American whiskey production, proudly announces that its once-limited expression, The Mistake, is now a permanent part of its award-winning whiskey portfolio. 

A production mishap, the expression resulted from whiskey that had been accidentally left in 46 of the producer’s Virgin American oak barrels for an extra year. Soon after its release, The Mistake quickly captured the attention of whiskey enthusiasts with its surprising complexity and rich, heavily oaked flavor profile, similar to Bourbon. Leaning into their mistake proved successful, as the liquid quickly earned consumer praise and demand.

"What started as an error became one of our most celebrated releases," said Aidan Mehigan, CEO and Founder of Natterjack Irish Whiskey. "We’ve always believed in pushing the boundaries of traditional Irish whiskey, and The Mistake truly embodies that philosophy. It’s a nod to our roots but with a bit of rebellion."

The Mistake releases hickory BBQ and toasted walnut aromas, followed by singed cinnamon and seared orange zest. Sweet almond then gives way to leather and grain. Upon the first sip, you’ll taste vanilla bean on the fore palate, followed by a blast of Anise. Powerful oak is enhanced by warm molasses, toffee, and just a hint of a Granny Smith apple. The finish is long and lingering. 

The Mistake will now be available year-round in select markets and through official retail partners. It can also be purchased online at shop.natterjack.com.
