If you’re a fan of Irish whiskey, there’s no better place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year than New Hampshire. Yeah, not what you were expecting to read, right? Welcome to the Spirit of Ireland collection.
Thanks to an exciting collaboration between the New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) and Bord Bia (The Irish Food Board), whiskey lovers in the Granite State are getting exclusive access to a stunning selection of rare and ultra-premium Irish whiskeys and spirits
Last year, NH Liquor & Wine Outlets made history as the first retailer in the U.S. to offer a lineup of 20 rare Irish whiskeys. This year the Spirit of Ireland collection gets even bigger and includes some of Ireland’s most celebrated distilleries.
But it’s not just whiskey — this year they’ve included unique rums and gins, like Outcast Brands’ Two Shores Rum and Blood Monkey Gin, which bring a fascinating twist to traditional Irish spirits. Think rum aged in Irish whiskey casks or a gin with bold, unexpected flavors and an awesome name.
Whether you’re a seasoned whiskey enthusiast or just curious about exploring Irish spirits not named Jameson, this is a rare opportunity to dive into the best of what Ireland has to offer… assuming you’re willing to go to New Hampshire.
