What distinguishes this release is its unusually global approach to cask selection — a method rarely seen in Irish whiskey production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Ireland  |  Style: Triple-Distilled Blended Irish Whiskey  |  Created by: Neil Sands \u0026amp; Tim Herlihy, Termonfeckin, Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLost Irish was created by Neil Sands and Tim Herlihy, based in Termonfeckin, Ireland, and launched in November 2021. The blend draws from three pillars of Irish whiskey — grain, malt, and pot still — all triple distilled in keeping with Irish tradition. What sets the production apart is its maturation program: component whiskeys are aged in South African brandy casks, Japanese Mizunara oak, European sherry casks, American bourbon casks, Caribbean rum casks, Australian tawny casks, and Colombian rum casks. This seven-cask, six-continent approach layers flavors and influences that go well beyond the typical bourbon-and-sherry finishing common in the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with bright fruit — peach, melon, and orange zest — before moving into malt, vanilla, and gentle baking spices.

Mid-palate, cinnamon and raisins emerge alongside honey and nutty nougat, balanced by toasty cereal notes.

Few Irish whiskeys at any price point pull from this breadth of cask influence, and fewer still manage to integrate them into a cohesive blend. Launched in late 2021, Lost Irish represents a newer wave of Irish whiskey that prioritizes global cask sourcing and blending craft over age statements. For drinkers curious about what happens when traditional triple-distilled Irish whiskey meets Mizunara oak, South African brandy barrels, and Colombian rum casks, this bottle is the most direct answer available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Irish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46928546988201,"sku":"121351232","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/LostIrishWhiskey750ML_f72e9c45-8cd8-4708-ad77-500be02ad1bc.webp?v=1774202449","url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/products\/lost-irish-whiskey-750ml","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
