Launched in 2021, Clan Colla Irish Whiskey is the super-premium collection of Ahascragh Distillers' Family Bond Series of hand-selected releases.
Irish legend tells the story of the Three Colla brothers, Colla Uais, Colla Fo Chrí and Colla Menn who conquered and ruled over most of Ireland with Colla Uais becoming Ard Rí or High King of Ireland in the 4th century.
Clan Colla 9-Year-Old is a blend of malt and grain whiskeys aged in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Bordeaux Wine casks. The first Bordeaux finish release from our Family Bond series, aged 9 years, has an extremely complex flavour profile balancing the peppery spice of the French oak with the luscious, oaky fruitiness of the red wine finish.
