The Connacht Whiskey Company Is Pleased to Announce an Offering Of The Connacht Whiskey Company is pleased to announce an offering of a very limited number of full 200 litre casks of our award-winning new make single malt pot still Irish whiskey. Imagine owning your own cask of uisce beatha - the "water of life”! The Connacht Whiskey Company Ltd., Belleek, Ballina, County Mayo E: [email protected] | W: www.connachtwhiskey.com Why Choose Connacht Irish Whiskey? The Connacht Distillery sits on the banks of the beautiful River Moy where the river widens into the Moy Estuary in Ballina, County Mayo. Here we distil and barrel-age our spirits in a rural, coastal environment unique to the West of Ireland. We prepare our mash, ferment, distill, age, and bottle our spirits all on site. The air in our distillery enjoys the heavenly scent of evaporating fine Irish whiskey known as “the angels’ share.” The heady odour of whiskey is a far cry from the yeasty tang the building used to enjoy when it housed the Duffy family bakery. The building surely has moved from one classic use of fine Irish grains to another. The distillery houses our three copper pot stills, which were custom designed by our master distiller, Robert Cassell, for the sole purpose of making great whiskey. We had our stills made to exact specifications in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada by the very experienced Specific Mechanical Systems. The dimensions of our stills, particularly their necks and heads, are different to others being used in Ireland, ensuring that our whiskey also will be unique and special. Connacht’s malt handling and brewing equipment was made in Germany by ROLEC, an internationally acclaimed craft brewing equipment manufacturer. The custom-made equipment combines the high efficiency and high capacity of modern beer brewing with the traditional distilling and fermentation processes needed for making fine whiskey. The distillery’s barrel room houses casks full of our whiskey; here our whiskey slowly matures. Our Irish whiskey never leaves our control and remains along the banks of the Moy, enjoying and benefiting from the unique terroir of our West of Ireland setting.

The Connacht Whiskey Company Ltd, Belleek, Ballina, County Mayo E: [email protected] | W: www.connachtwhiskey.com Cask Club Pricing The below calculation is a simple outline of the programme. There are many external factors that go into the maturation of a cask and so any calculations done by ourselves are purely examples and are to be taken as a guide only. Your spirit will evaporate at approximately 2% per annum. This happens with every single cask in maturation and is unfortunately something that we are unable to prevent. We cannot predict the exact rate for individual casks, but the following could act as a guideline. You can decide whether to bottle at cask strength (59%) or at 40% ABV, with the cost breakdown estimated below for the 40% ABV option. Standard 40% ABV (80 Proof ) Cost per Cask €5,900 Litres per Cask @ 59% Angels Share per Year 2% Number of Years 3 Barrel Size (Litres) 200 Litres of Pure Alcohol per Cask 111 No of 700ml Bottles at 40% ABV 397 Bottling & Labelling @ €3 per bottle €1,190 Total Cost of Cask plus Bottling €7,090 Costs per Labelled Bottle €17.87 Duty per Bottle €12.20 Cost per Bottle ex VAT €30.07 The Connacht Whiskey Company Ltd, Belleek, Ballina, County Mayo E: [email protected] | W: www.connachtwhiskey.com Connacht Cask Club Full Terms and Conditions .

  • 1 the Alchemist Cabinet Vol. 1
    1 The Alchemist Cabinet Vol. 1: Philosophy By: Alan Reed Bishop Alchemistcabinet.wordpress.com James Alfred Bishop woke early one summer morning in the early 1930’s, heading down to the patch of wild berries he had located; ever a consummate fan of the old fashioned homemade cobbler, he wanted to beat anyone else with an eye on those berries at the peak of ripeness to the punch. Some ways behind him followed two of his sons, Alfred Reed Bishop and Coy Dell Bishop. It was early, still dark out, and the elder Bishop was ahead by quite a way following the path that treads through the forest near Greensburg Kentucky. Shortly the two boys came across James Alfred at the side of the trail; pale, shocked, perhaps even disbelieving his own instincts. They asked him why he moved off the trail and what had happened to put the scare into him. James Alfred replied simply: “You didn’t see him?”, “See who?”, the obvious retort. “The devil just crossed my path on this trail, I knew who he was, and I could see the evil in his eyes.” He repeated this story to the rest of the family later, his best guess is that the old demon was on his way down to the Moonshine still in the woods, as always up to no good and looking for someone new to sign his earthly contract, someone to tread his own Hells Half Acre……. Know a guy that knows a guy?! I sold my first jar of liquor in a church.
