Pearse 12yr Founders Choice Irish Whiskey is a double oak-single malt aged for a minimum of twelve years, beginning its maturation in former bourbon barrels before being re-casked halfway through its life into Town Branch Bourbon barrels. The Pearse range of age-stated Irish whiskeys reflects an unwavering dedication to quality and craftsmanship, proudly distilled at the altar of St.James, in Dublin 8.
This whiskey showcases its age and maturity, with many barrels blended well beyond the minimum 12-year requirement. Rich flavours of custard and crème brûlée harmonise with fruit-forward single malt character, layered alongside the softly expressed influence of double oak.
