A unique whiskey being an Irish Single Grain with a distinctive character

Greenore is distinctive in that it is a Single Grain 8 Year old Irish Whiskey.

It is distilled at Cooley Distillery with a pure water and fine high quality grains.
Later sent to mature in our 200 year old warehouses, in Kilbeggan. These combined expertise create the taste of vanilla and honeyed sweetness that emanates from its many years of maturing in rum and bourbon oak casks. It s silky smooth and robust character is a truly delightful experience to the discerning drinker.

The unique and exceptional quality of Greenore Single Grain has been recognised this year by the International Wine and Spirits Competition where it won a gold medal.





Tasting Notes of Noel Sweeney, Cooley Master Blender

Nose: Clean light grain, with honey and oak characters.

Taste: Silky smooth and mellow with honey start combined with fresh almonds and spices to create this delicate balance.

Finish: Warm honey taste lingering in the mouth with a dry finish.

Serving Suggestions

Greenore Single Grain can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with water to release the bouquet or as you like it.

Endorsements

"This is a really light whiskey with a delicately perfumed flowery aroma. Then the nose expands to reflect the oak casks in which the whiskey has matured with vanilla and green wood notes. The lightness of the nose is reflected on the tongue. The delicate flowery elements unfold to create a whiskey with a well-known depth of character. There is a little cinnamon and all spice in the mouth and a hint of fruit. The sweetness lingers on the tongue but there is a surprise in the finish which is dry and full of spice. " Helen Arthur, author of The Single Malt Whiskey Companion.

"Greenore has worked well for Cooley Distillery, it is sweet and unctuous." Giles MacDonagh, Journalist with the London Financial Times.
