Michael Collins Single Malt Irish Whiskey is pot distilled with select grains and malted barley dried over peat fires. This process is the oldest tradition of Irish distilling, dating back to 1762. The newly distilled whiskeys are aged in specially selected oak casks for a minimum of eight years to form the base of Michael Collins Single Malt. The single malt is well-rounded with a wonderfully subtle smoky flavor from the peat that lingers on the palate. It is best enjoyed in a snifter or on the rocks.
