The Gael
We released Batch No.3 of our award winning flagship blend, The Gael in 2021.
A blend of Malt and Grain Whiskey, Gael is the perfect marriage of Irish Whiskey flavours. Comprised of some of the oldest whiskeys in our library of flavours, The Gael is the perfect representation of our fruit bomb house style with layers of complexity.
GOLD MEDAL WINNER IRISH WHISKEY AWARDS 2017: Blended Irish Whiskey over 60 euros category
jonny McCormick-Whisky Advocate march 2018
“Chapel Gate whiskey aims to resurrect the lost art of the Irish whiskey bond. This delicious debut is built around parcels of aged single malt and grain sourced from County Louth. Fresh hay, floral blossoms, comb honey, dry spice, oak, a crate of whole lemons, and growing spices. Lemon sherbet, clean vanilla, and a peppery grunt resolve flavours of rich barley sugar and a hot pepper finish”
Martin Moran The Sunday Times
“A Complex array of fruit and spice aromas with malt honey and citrus to the fore plus a long smooth finish”
