Using whey alcohol from the local dairy farmers here in Cork, together with our own natural well water and an interesting mix of foraged and sustainably sourced botanicals, we have hand-crafted a gin that highlights the character of Bertha in her prime.

And what a name!! The mere mention of it raises eyebrows, poses question, taxes the mind and brings a smile to the lips. Hurrah, our work here is nearly done!

Like any good Irish tale, the story behind our wonderful Bertha’s Revenge Gin is a tapestry of good fortune, endeavour and passion. Funnily enough, our gin took about 10 months from conception to birth, not a dissimilar length of time to the average gestation period for a cow!

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage champagnes, unlike most champagnes, are made from the grapes of a single exceptional year. 

Each Grand Vintage is unique. Each possesses the distinctive, imitable qualities of that year’s outstanding grapes, qualities which have been elevated to their fullest expression through the savoir-faire, experience and expertise of Moët & Chandon and the House’s chef de cave.
Since 1842, the House has released 74 vintage champagnes. Moët & Chandon possesses one of the world’s most prestigious collection of vintage champagnes, all of which are safeguarded in the Grand Vintage Reserve cellars.

BLEND

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2013 Rosé is thus an unexpectedly complementary expression of a year that is widely known for its Chardonnays. It is 35% Chardonnay – a rather high proportion for a rosé, which typically contains more Pinot Noir. After 7 years in the cellars, it reveals a truly unique character.

TASTING NOTES

Colour tinged with orange. A radiant, light pink hue with hints of orange. Chiseled, Generous, Spicy fruitness

Generous bouquet

The initial aromas are sweet, tinged with a mixture of wild strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate seeds. It then develops a touch of freshness with hints of blood orange and star fruit. Black pepper, dark chocolate, cinnamon, dried flowers and new leather round off the bouquet.

TASTE HISTORY IN A BOTTLE
Embrace the tales of Prohibition-era bootleggers, the spirited resilience of the Hoosier State, and the enduring traditions that stand the test of time. Aged in Charred White Oak and Hand-bottled, 1816 Indiana Rye is history in a bottle. We've made something unique to the state of Indiana that's worthy of sharing, worthy of conversations, and worth collecting.

The Limited Release of Tahitian vanilla infused 1816 Indiana Rye comes in a hand-numbered bottle that reveals the secret inside: a real Tahitian vanilla bean. Savor history, one vanilla-infused sip at a time. This is 2024's limited edition run, and when they're gone, they're gone! Our award-winning 1816 Indiana Rye, known for its bold rye spice and warm notes of nutmeg and cinnamon, now comes infused with genuine Tahitian vanilla bean. The result? A rich, creamy sweetness that you control by adjusting the infusion time.

Hoosier History
Indiana became the 19th state of the United States on December 11, 1816. Just like other states in the Midwest, Indiana became a site for whiskey production due to its agricultural grain capacity, and natural limestone filtered water. The climate, with hot summers and cold winters, was imperative to the aging process, where the fluctuations help the spirit interact with the charred white oak barrels, imparting the exclusive flavor, color, and character. This natural advantage contributed to the development of distilling in the region. At this time distilling was a small-scale, farm-based activity before the rise of industrial, commercial distilling in the late 1800s.

Our 1816 Indiana Rye Whiskey continues to honor these traditions today. Aged in the fluctuating Indiana climate in charred white oak barrels. Hand-bottled by the small team at our craft distillery after it has been proofed to 101.6, producing the bold rye spice and floral notes with a hint of nutmeg, and cinnamon in the background. Truly history in a bottle!

Volume One of the Rye Project is in collaboration with Willett Family Estate.  The Volume One blend consists of a very low-rye (51%) whiskey aged for 6 years in new American oak, blended with a more aggressive 6 and 7 year Rye (74%) whiskey distilled by the Willett Distillery.  By design, this Rye blend reads sweeter than most Rye whiskies, while still being layered, spiced, and elegant on the back palate.  The custom cork top was inspired by the knob of a baseball bat that is a family heirloom of Jon Buscemi.  The textured label was created in partnership with a bespoke wine label producer in Sonoma County.  More info available in Special Projects.
