Using 100% Irish barley, celebrated as the world’s finest, our Single Farm Origin series offers an uber-provenance range of limited edition natural whiskies. These whiskies delve into Irish terroir, exploring one farm and one place at a time. They present unique barley flavors from specific Irish farms and harvests, embodying both precision and rarity.
The historic Brownes’ 18th Century farmhouse at Broomlands stands proudly just north of Monart Spa and south of Castle Ellis Church. It commands a view over the Urrin river valley in the southeastern corner of Ireland. Furthermore, flanked by the Atlantic coast to the south and the Irish Sea to the east, this location features a foundation of Ordovician shale and mica. The Clonroche soil, rich in clay and moisture-retentive, contributes to a highly productive terroir.
Back in 1855, the Dublin Daily Express lauded Broomlands as ‘a highly productive and beautifully situated farm.’ Additionally, a notable recent family member was John Browne (d. 2005), who spent seven years as a radio officer in the Merchant Navy. Later, he explored the jungles of South America and traveled extensively in the Sahara, Egypt, China, and India.
Head Distiller’s Observations
- Appearance: Deep gold with oily legs that look like the line-up for the Riverdance finale.
- Nose: Toffee, fudge, green apple, apricot jam, citrus zest, worn leather, barnyard notes, dark chocolate and malted biscuits.
- Taste: Dried spices with oiliness that wraps around your tongue; and lemon sherbet.
- Finish: Dry with gentle spice that lasts (and makes me lick my lips).
