Greenore Single Grain Irish Whiskey

Greenore Single Grain which is produced at the Cooley Distillery is a truly unique whiskey as it is the only expression of Irish Single Grain whiskey in the world.

The raw ingredients for Grain whiskey are simply maize, water and yeast with perhaps a little barley. Grain whiskey tends to have a lighter flavour than malt whiskey and its principal purpose is to be mixed with the more flavoursome malt whiskey to produce an easy to drink blend. However, at Cooley they produce a grain whiskey that is good enough to drink in its own right. The result is their Irish Single Grain whiskey, Greenore.

Greenore grain whiskey is made from maize - or corn as its also known - which produces a beautiful smooth sweet taste. When this is coupled with the creamy vanilla notes from maturation in exclusively ex-bourbon casks the results is the distinct taste of Greenore Single Grain Irish Whiskey.

Greenore's light bourbon-like taste profile makes this an exceedingly versatile whiskey accessible to all taste buds.

Cooley produces two single grain Irish whiskies, an 8 year old and a 15 year old. The extra aging of the Greenore 15 year old produces a more complex robust whiskey with new depths and layers of flavours that compliment the smooth sweet buttery vanilla notes that makes the 8 year old so popular. Cooley have also been known to release very limited edition small batch bottlings.
