The Pogues Irish Whiskey is a small-batch blend of malt and grain whiskey created by master whiskey maker Frank McHardy.

Triple distilled for a smooth and approachable style, the whiskey combines pronounced malt character with roasted almond, spice and dark chocolate, followed by citrus, cracked pepper, dark fruit and a gentle touch of sweetness.

The finish is delicately balanced, rounded and long-lasting, giving the whiskey enough character for sipping while retaining the versatility expected from an Irish whiskey blend.
