Hello Delaware Drammers!

You’re invited to join us for a special tasting on Thursday, February 13th at 7pm — we’ll be tasting through a whopping 9 expressions with the US Brand Manager for JJ Corry Irish Whiskey, Forbes McMullin. He’s flying in for the launch of a Drammers-exclusive custom blend of JJ Corry, which was hand-blended by a group of Drammers from our Charlotte chapter in July of 2024. A big thank you to the Newark Masonic Lodge for hosting us (address: 207 East Delaware Avenue, Newark, DE 19713). Here’s the full lineup:

  • Drammers Exclusive - “An Ban Rion” - Custom Blend. This will be the launch party for our own JJ Corry private blend! Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey matured in Amontillado and PX Sherry casks. Btw, “An Ban Rion” means queen in honor of our Drammers Charlotte members who created it (Charlotte is known as “Queen City” because it was named after Queen Charlotte). 57% abv.

  • 5 Expressions in the Bespoke Bonders Series. Each is 50% abv, 600 bottles of each globally.

    • Single Grain Irish Whiskey

    • Single Malt Irish Whiskey

    • Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

    • Malt/Grain Blend

    • Malt/Pot Still Blend

  • Flintlock #5 - 21yo. This award-winning single malt Irish whiskey is aged in ex-bourbon casks, then finished in a Fino sherry from Jerez, Spain. 1,200 bottles released globally, 46% abv.

  • The Gael. This flagship release from JJ Corry has always been a bright fruit bomb or orchard fruits. The whisky is aged in a mix of Irish single malt and grain whiskeys aged in bourbon and sherry casks, and reportedly using a very wide range in terms of age — a mix of parcels aged as little as 5 years and as much as 30 years, which are some of the oldest components in JJ Corry’s warehouses. 46% abv.

  • The Hanson. The other of JJ Corry’s two flagship releases is a different beast altogether, composed entirely of Irish grain whiskeys that Louise and the team have collected from distilleries across Ireland. We used to say this expression was aged entirely in ex-bourbon casks (1st and 2nd fill), but now their website claims it was aged in ex-bourbon and former “American Craft Whiskey casks”. Does that mean ex-American Single Malt? Something else? We’ll have to ask Louise about that at this event. 46% abv.

That’s our lineup, we hope you can join us! We’ll order in light food (likely pizza), which is included with your ticket, and as always we strongly encourage everyone that will be driving home to arrange a ride home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Cheers,
Charlie, Jared and Drammers Club
