The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey is a super premium Irish Whiskey that aims to capture all the edge and attitude of the legendary Irish emigrant Dead Rabbit NYC Gang and the award-winning Irish bar of the same name, located in downtown Manhattan, New York City. It is a five-year old blend featuring Irish malt and grain whiskey, finished in virgin American oak for 5 years and crafted by Master Distiller, Darryl McNally, in collaboration with Jack McGarry and Sean Muldoon, the founders of the award-winning New York bar, The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog, which has topped the list of the World’s 50 Best Bars numerous times.
Whisky Advocate Review:
Co-founders of New York's The Dead Rabbit Bar Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry add their own 5 year old single malt and grain whiskeys to their supplies of grog. Sweetness, caramel, vanilla, and scents of dried fruits. The flavors captured in a light frame reveal citrus peel, malt, dark cookies, a rumble of spice, and conclude with dried peels dipped in chocolate. Drying, with spice and orange. Decent whiskey for sure, but a rather conservative first release for The Dead Rabbit.
