Irish Whiskey Public House’s whiskey selection is incomparable to any other Irish bars in the DC metro area. Since its inception in January 2012, customers are repeatedly surprised to find a wide selection of never-‐before-‐heard-‐of bottles. Carrying
over 50 brands of Irish whiskeys, Irish Whiskey Public House has set itself apart from other Irish bars in the area by consistently bringing in new and exciting selection of rare whiskey selections to the Washington, DC area.
Irish Whiskey Public House’s unique and exciting whiskey selection includes:
Knappogue Castle 1951 -‐ This is one of the oldest and rarest Irish whiskeys in theworld. It was distilled in 1951 and aged in sherry casks for 36 years. The bottle carried by Irish Whiskey is now 25 years old. A 2 oz. pour of this vintage costs $130.
Green Spot -‐ Whiskey expert Jim Murray has said of Green Spot: “unquestioningly, one of the world’s great whiskies.” Only 1200 bottles of this complex whiskey is produced each year. It is a single pot still Irish whiskey, which is one of the most rare types of whiskies available to this date. A 2 oz. pour of Green Spot runs $49.
Knappogue Castle 16-Year -‐ Although this whiskey is mass-‐produced at Cooley (unlike the Knappogue 1951), Knappogue has recently announced its plans to cease production of this sherry cask-‐aged single malt. It’s best to get a nip of this whiskey while you still can -‐ it’s only $24 for a two-ounce pour that boasts one of the more complex and yet mellow notes you can find in a 16-‐year whiskey.
Red Breast 12-Year Cask Strength -‐ Although Red Breast 12-‐Year Single Pot is still common throughout all types of bars in the States, their cask strength varietal is a much rarer to find. Cask strength whiskeys are unlike their standard counterparts in that they are not diluted at all before bottling, resulting in a much higher ABV at 57.7%. It’s best
to drink this one with a water back! A 2 oz. pour of Red Breast Cask Strength will run you $19.
