Currach Atlantic Kombu Apple Ice Wine Cask, Exclusive to Whisky Journey
Triple distilled Irish whiskey made from 100% Irish malted barley is the result of meticulous ageing. It is first matured in ex-bourbon American oak barrels and then finished in virgin American oak casks charred with Atlantic Kombu Irish seaweed. The whisky in this Whisky Journey is given an additional finish by a Rare Killahora Apple Ice Wine Cask.
These casks hail from Killahora Orchards, where their Apple Ice Wine are made from their rare, bittersweet apples that are grown on the south-facing slopes of Ireland’s County Cork. The fermentation and freezing temperatures further shape the dessert wine. You get sweet notes of butterscotch, green apple, and dark chocolate, which complement the roast coffee, dark cocoa, and umami flavours from the Atlantic Kombu seaweed casks.
This limited edition bottling has been bottled at cask strength, without caramel colouring and non-chill-filtered.
Exclusive to 2023, Tipperay single cask release Quaich Bar.
This single cask is made from barley grown in the United States. It’s a celebration for opulence. These limited editions, which are only 79 bottles each, embrace the essence of both sherry & port. With a rich sherry scent and the image of a soft campfire, you are in for a sensory adventure.
Resonating with sweet sherry, a melange of fruits—apples, pears, and dried figs—the palate is further suspended in a toffee symphony, which leads to a lingering, fruit-laden finish. If there’s any gem that’s coveted, you don’t have to look too far than this from Quaich Bar.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company: Bowmore 22 Year Old Scotch – Batch 25 (Exclusive Bottling For Proof & Company)

This particular release is bottled from a single sherry butt, aged since November 1998 and is solely reserved for Proof & Company. Aged in Bowmore’s fabled Vault No. The vault is situated closest to the ocean, making it a perfect place for this distinguished elixir.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company: Springbank 23 Year Old – Batch 28
Springbank Distillery’s twenty-eighth release is a rare treasure. It contains only 383 bottles of 48.92% ABV that are 23 years old. Springbank Distillery is the only distillery to malt its entire barley needs using its floor maltings. This particular batch, distilled in November of 1996, was produced by Springbank.
