That’s the Spirit - Wonders of a Curious Mind, The Shed
Wonders OF A CURIOUS Mind By Joseph Luparello
The Shed Distillery and Pj Rigney Continue to Release Exciting Irish Whiskies
After seven years of meticulous planning and five years of distillation, The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney releases the first edition of its flagship Irish whiskey brand: Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Since 2014, every precious drop of this “Premier Grand Cru” Irish whiskey has undergone a triple distillation process using Irish oats at The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney in Drumshanbo, Ireland. The exquisite spirit follows up its inaugural release with a bourbon cask focus. It will undoubtedly be a staple expression for The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney in the future. The uniquely Irish Barra Oats lend a delicious creaminess to the palate of this whiskey, which is complemented beautifully by the depth of malted Irish barley and the crisp greenness of un-malted Irish barley.
Given that Single Pot Still remains the fastest-growing sub-category of Irish whiskey, a top priority of The Shed has been to convey the authenticity of Drumshanbo with transparency. Which is why there is no color added to this rare whiskey, nor chill filtration used in the process.
As for packaging, the “Drumshanbo” signature jackalope, made iconic by The Shed’s Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, will be returning on the Irish Whiskey bottle. This mythical creature represents the coming together of disparate things, one of the key drivers of the curious mind of PJ Rigney and The Shed Distillery.
To the right of the logo is an ancient form of Gaelic writing known as “ogham” (ohm). This symbol translates to “oats” and “honeysuckle” about the whiskey’s undeniable soft and creamy mouthfeel.
Both PJ Rigney and head distiller Brian Taft continue bringing new and exciting Irish whiskeys from The Shed Distillery including the annual release of Drumshanbo Single Malt Irish Whiskey “Galánta,” and special cask releases such as the new Pinot Noir Cask Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.
