The story

The Dublin Liberties Distillery

The Dead Rabbits were a notorious Irish immigrant street gang. They challenged the status quo for fun, they were provocative. And they were extremely proud of their Irish roots.Creativity is to discover a question that has never been asked. If one brings up an idiosyncratic question, the answer he gives will necessarily be unique as well.

The Whiskey

You’re one of us now.

This is a thrill that lasts and lasts. Every part of your mouth is smiling. This is good, it is saying. This is very good.

Let it linger

Now that first encounter turns into attitude – this is a punchy, heavy-hitter. While the bourbon and vanilla are working you over in a one-two, the spice notes are running riot. This is classic Irish with a definite edge.

Take a sip

Inhale slowly. First, bourbon comes out swinging, followed by vanilla – all sweetness and light. Then the rest of the gang pile in: spice, fruit, malt. Now you know what you’re up against.

It all makes scents

Think honey – thick, rich, liquid gold. It’s a good start.
