Temris 5 Year Old P.X. Sherry Cask Finish

A new Irish single malt whiskey here, completing three different styles of Irish whiskey in this box. ‘Temris’ is an ancient (Proto-Celtic) word meaning ‘sanctuary’ or ‘sacred place’, which they liken to their goal of creating a “haven of flavour”. It’s natural colour and non-chill filtered, and has been released by InnoBev, whose shareholders somewhat incredibly include Swizz Beatz, the American rapper and record producer who’s married to Alicia Keys! Apparently he took one of those DNA tests and it told him he was 30% Irish.

Founder and head of innovation Stephen Dillon sees the parallels between music and liquid production, blending the elements just right, and “creating experiences”. Initially aged in bourbon casks, this whiskey was finished in casks that previously held rich, sticky Pedro Ximénez sherry.
