Ireland’s Boann Distillery has unveiled The Whistler 21 year old Justino’s Madeira Collaboration. It’s a twin pack featuring one bottle of Irish whiskey and one bottle of madeira wine—both of which are the result of a joint project between Boann and madeira winemaker Justino’s Madeira Wines. The collaboration began when Justino’s filled two 350-liter French oak cognac casks with madeira and left the wine to mature for 20 years, using the traditional canteiro method. The casks were then emptied and sent to Boann Distillery, where they were filled with sourced 20 year old Irish single malt that had been matured in bourbon barrels. The whiskey was then finished in the two madeira casks for 18 months before bottling. The 20 year old madeira was also bottled.

Distillery Information
Boann Distillery started making whiskey in 2019, and is using the past to inspire the future. Soon after opening, Boann partnered with Irish whiskey historian and author Fionnán O’Connor on its vintage mashbills project to test 10 historic recipes. Since then it has been on a mission to be one of the more creative players in the Irish renaissance. The Boann vintage mashbills project has explored the use of adjunct grains—oats, rye, and wheat. But it’s far more complicated than just adding other cereals; what’s removed is equally important. The secret is to maintain 10% more barley than malt to ensure the pot still oils remain. Oats add an artificial sweetness—cotton candy and Pop Rocks, wheat serves up pastry and notes of buttered bread with a hint of musty hay sheds, while a higher malt-to-barley ratio delivers plum and jammy notes.
