Its mashbill of 71% corn, 20% rye, and 9% barley mirrors a high-rye bourbon profile, giving bourbon drinkers the structure and spice they expect, while triple distillation delivers the smooth, approachable finish Irish whiskey is known for.

The Dunbrody Bourbon Cask has its own unique mashbill designed specifically for bourbon cask maturation, aging in bourbon barrels throughout — not just at the end — for deeper integration of oak, vanilla, and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack tea, vanilla, and honey on the nose; toffee, butterscotch, ripe pear, and rye spice on the palate; finishing smooth and warming with lingering toffee and bourbon oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the story behind The Dunbrody name?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand is named after the Dunbrody Famine Ship, which carried Irish emigrants to America during the Great Famine of the 1840s.
