The Story

About John L. Sullivan Bourbon Cask Finish Irish Whiskey

Born in the South End of Boston to Irish immigrants, John L. Sullivan was affectionately known as the Boston Strong Boy. Sullivan was the first heavyweight champion of gloved boxing, and is recognized as the last heavyweight champion of bare-knuckled boxing. By the time he retired in 1905, Sullivan’s record consisted of 40 wins (34 of which were won by knockout), 1 loss and 2 draws.

John L. Sullivan Irish Bourbon pays homage to the fighter. Matured in single use bourbon barrels for 4 to 10 years, the whiskey has a smooth aroma of vanilla and citrus. Notes of oak, roasted nuts, spice and caramel dominate the palate, and lead to a finish that is well-balanced and rich.

This is the first ever blend of American Bourbon & Irish Whiskey.

About Irish Whiskey

Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.

Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.

Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.
