The Hanson
The latest addition to the J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey portfolio, The Hanson is a Blended Grain Irish Whiskey, created in celebration of this spirit and with cocktails in mind. The Hanson is named after J.J. Corry’s son in law who was a revenue man in the early 1900s known locally in Cooraclare as “The Gauger Hanson”.
It is a meticulous blend of Irish Grain Whiskey from multiple distilleries. Four and ten years old and ex-bourbon barrel aged, the result is a whiskey with rich, deep, bourbon-influenced notes - vanilla fudge and toasted coconut - on the nose, with zingy top notes of griddled pineapple and lime. A fresh start to the palate with green apples, backed by rye grass, leads to a bright finish too, with lemongrass and hints of salinity and minerality.
The Hanson, bottled at 46% abv and without any artificial colouring or chill-filtration, is perfect enjoyed by itself or in a refreshing cocktail.
