Grace O’Malley Irish Whiskey is a special blend, combining multiple batches of whiskey of varying age statements from three to 10 years old. Each batch of whiskey is matured in a range of barrel types, including French oak. Casks are hand selected according to each whiskey’s characteristics, including grain whiskey aged in ex-bourbon casks and malt whiskey aged in ex-rum barrels. The resulting blend delivers a whiskey perfectly balanced between flavour, age character, complexity and smoothness.
The Grace O’Malley brand is dedicated to the legendary Irish pirate queen, Grainne Ní Mháille/Grace O’Malley, also known as Granuaile. Born into Irish nobility in Co Mayo in 1530, she was a charismatic and natural leader. Gifted as a negotiator, she was a fearless mariner throughout her life and her great rebellious life should never be forgotten. -
Inis Tine Uisce Teoranta was founded by Fritz Hendrick Melle, who runs the company together with his longtime business partner Stefan Hansen. Back in 2016, they got the call from a friend of a friend who had the Grace O'Malley brand and wanted to start a small whiskey project. He asked Fritz and Stefan for help. They were incredibly impressed by Grace O'Malley's story; it suits our times so well. Also, there hasn't been a single whiskey named after a woman – so they wanted to change that.
Irish whiskey in particular is very popular with women. So the question was: Can't they make this big too? Coincidence struck luck - all of our current partners and friends loved the idea of launching an Irish whiskey in honour of Grace O'Malley. They got encouragement, support, know-how and whiskey. Proclamation Irish whiskey was launched as their second whiskey brand in 2020 by. Now, six years after the company was founded , they are one of the large, independent bottlers and export their spirits to over 23 markets.
