Cooley Introduce World’s Oldest Single Grain Irish Whiskey 15-Year-Old Greenore on Limited Release
14 May 2008
The only independent Irish whiskey distiller, Cooley Distillery, has released a 15-year-old small batch bottling of Greenore Single Grain Whiskey. This is the World’s oldest bottling of Irish grain whiskey ever released. Single Grain whiskeys are very rare as most grain whiskey is used in Blended whiskeys.
The 15-year-old follows the very successful 8-year-old Greenore, which has won countless awards around the world. This latest addition to the celebrated Cooley collection of whiskeys is bottled from a small batch of casks hand picked by Cooley’s Master Blender Noel Sweeney. The whiskey is aged in single use bourbon oak casks imported from
The release of the 15-year-old will be limited to just 5,000 bottles while the award winning Greenore 8-year-old will be maintained as a permanent offering. The extra aging of the Greenore 15-year-old produces a more complex robust whiskey with new depths and layers of flavours that compliment the smooth sweet buttery vanilla notes that makes the 8-year-old so popular.
Greenore Single Grain won a gold medal in 2007 at the International Wine and Spirits Competition and a Double Gold at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
