Newslink: J.J. Corry Unveils Tequila- and Mezcal-Cask Finished Irish Whiskey
J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey has announced a new expression called The Battalion, a unique blended Irish whiskey finished in tequila and mezcal casks. There are tequilas aged in bourbon barrels, but the opposite is not something we’ve widely seen done to date that we are aware of, minus a mezcal-finished rye whiskey from Wigle Whiskey recently. Diageo, however, caused a stir last year when it proposed changing the rules defining scotch whisky to allow aging in Don Julio barrels.
