WhiskyJason reviews Hyde No 6 – President’s Reserve – 1938 Irish Grain Whiskey
Alan and Conor Hyde present their latest bottling, the HYDE No.6 “President’s Reserve”, which has probably not existed before.
For Hyde No.6, Alan and Conor have used a truly unusual recipe – eight-year-old, triple-distilled Irish Single Grain and much older (18-year-old), mixed with tripled distilled Irish Single Malt from a well-known distillery (Bushmills) from Northern Ireland – and then married in old Oloroso sherry casks to mature. The bottling is limited to just 5000 bottles.

WhiskyJason reviews Dunville’s Three Crowns Irish Whiskey
WhiskyJason reviews The Temple Bar Cellar Cask Irish Whiskey
This Temple Bar Cellar Cask Single Malt Irish Whiskey is only available at the Pub in Dublin and it is bottled at cask strength.
Traditionally distilled on copper pot stills and filled in bourbon barrels in 2004. The whiskey was allowed to mature for 12 years in the cellars of the Temple Bar in Dublin’s Dublin district.
Tom Cleary’s family has been around for decades and involved with the theme of whiskey and some barrels had decades ago already matured in the basements of their bars. So the step for Tom Cleary was obvious to also have his own Irish pub whiskey.
