Frequently Asked Questions

What is single pot still whiskey?

A typically Irish style: whiskey from a single distillery, made from a mix of malted and unmalted barley and distilled in copper pot stills. The unmalted barley gives a creamy texture and a peppery spice. Tomásín is distilled at the Great Northern Distillery in County Louth.

How does Tomásín differ from the other W.D. O'Connell bottles?

It is the only single pot still from their range that we stock. The 10 Year Old is a single grain, Union Road a blend and Bill Phil a peated single malt. Tomásín combines the spicy pot still style with eight years of maturation in Ruby Port casks and sits in Rich & Sweet.

Which dish should you serve with Tomásín 8 Year Old?

Desserts with red fruit, duck breast or a robust blue cheese. The berry fruit and clove from the port casks pair beautifully with them. Serve it neat; a few drops of water can bring out the chocolate note on the finish even more.
