Lost Irish is a blended Irish whiskey, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), that distinguishes itself through a global aging process. It's a modern Irish whiskey that combines the three core styles of Irish whiskey—grain, malt, and pot still—and matures them in a worldly selection of casks from six continents.
Production and maturation
- Triple blend: The whiskey is a blend of triple-distilled grain, malt, and pot still whiskey. This combination creates a balance of sweetness from the grain, fruitiness from the malt, and a creamy texture with a touch of spice from the pot still.
- Global aging: What truly sets Lost Irish apart is its maturation process. The whiskey is aged in a mix of different casks sourced from around the world. This includes:
- South African brandy casks
- Japanese Mizunara oak
- European sherry casks
- American bourbon casks
- Caribbean and Colombian rum casks
- Australian tawny casks
