JJ Corry launches in the UK

A new whiskey, JJ Corry, has been launched into the UK by Ireland’s only whiskey bonder, The Chapel Gate Irish Whiskey Co. JJ Corry The Gael is made 5% with 26-year-old single malt, 27.5% with 11-year-old single malt, 27.5% with 15-year-old single malt and the remaining 40% with seven-year-old single grain.

The Gael is available in 50cl and 75cl bottles with ABV of 46%. With 7,000 bottles produced in the first batch, it is non-chill filtered and has no artificial colour added. It is named after a bicycle that bonder JJ Corry invented in the 1890s. JJ Corry was born in the parish of Cooraclare, where the business is based, and he bonded and blended in his shop and pub at 63 Henry Street, Kilrush from the 1890s until his death in 1932.

Medicinal Whiskey Recipe!

Turns out that the science behind the lovely warming drink is on the side of the Irish – a hot whiskey really is medicinal. One of the biggest reasons you feel awful when you have a cold is the lack of sleep. In steps a shot of your best Jameson, Teelings, or even Bushmills (if you’re feeling flush) to help you guide off into a restful sleep.

Professor Ron Eccles, director of the Common Cold Center at the University of Cardiff in Wales, confirmed it! He told the Telegraph the alcohol acts as a sedative, but he did warn that while the hot water burns off some of the alcohol and over-generous measure of the “uisce beatha” (“water of life”) will detract from the drink’s benefits.
