J.J. Corry The Battalion Irish Whiskey

The First Tequila and Mezcal Influenced Irish Whiskey

The Battalion is named in honour of the Battalion San Patricios, or ‘St. Patrick’s Battalion, was a group of Irish men who fought for Mexico in the Mexican/American War of 1846-1848.

As modern whiskey Bonders, we do exactly as J.J. Corry would have done, using the casks at his disposal to impart unique flavours in his blends. J.J. had access to rum, Bordeaux & sherry casks, we are lucky enough to be able to look as far afield as Mexico and beyond for flavours that work with Irish Whiskey. At J.J. Corry, we take inspiration from the work of artisanal spirit producers around the world. The best Mezcal & Tequilas are, at their heart, produced in rural locations by families, with whom we share a significant affinity given our approach to whiskey making on our family farm on the West coast of Ireland.
