This globally awarded, single grain whiskey has been aged twice – first in American oak Bourbon barrels and again in Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry barrels.
It will make you think twice about Irish whiskey.
While the Bourbon barrels brings a sweetness and smooth vanilla notes, the Oloroso casks layer on depth of dried fruit and Spanish oak spices.
We like to drink it neat, on ice, or with soda. For a delicious Double Barrel cocktail, try The Lough Inn recipe.
THE LOUGH INN
Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in 2oz of Double Barrel, 1oz of spiced honey syrup* and 1oz of fresh lemon juice.
Top it with soda water and garnish with a slice of lemon and a freshly torn, slapped mint spring. Best made in a shaker, but you can build it over a glass of ice like we've said above.
*1 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of water, 4 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise. Bring to boil, stir and strain. Plain honey syrup will do, or even simple syrup
