We're expanding in the USA! Spreading the word about JJ Corry and the modern Indie Irish whiskey movement.
The recent issues around the Bible are simply the tip of a much bigger issue in whiskey we need to talk about.
As the reality of our current situation evolves and sinks in I figured I’d shine a light on what this means for our particular bourgeoning industry from my perspective.
When I started J.J. Corry there were only three distilleries producing whiskey on the Island of Ireland. Today there are thirty something. As a Whiskey Bonder my job is to curate a library of whiskey flavours so that as we mature and blend those stocks we have a varied palate of flavours to draw from over time. This is what differentiates us from a distillery - we have a still to glass approach, and a wide variety of flavours for the end blend. My goal is to have the most diverse collection of Irish Whiskey stocks on the Island eventually. This work will come to fruition in the coming years as our stocks diversify and our scope for blending grows. We’ve already dabbled in this by releasing The Hanson, to my knowledge the only ‘Blended Grain’ in the Irish category to date. A very natural release for us given our approach to whiskey making. I foresee Blended Pot-Still, Blended Malt, and many other iterations of this as time goes on for J.J. Corry.
