The Busker, a new Irish whiskey, with a unique and disruptive twist has just launched in Ireland. The Busker is geared to those looking for something new and contemporary.
The Busker includes all four types of Irish whiskey (Single Grain, Single Pot Still, Single Malt and a Blend). The Busker Blend – Triple Cask Triple Smooth – combines Grain with a high percentage of Malt and Pot whiskey. Matured and finished in three different casks (Bourbon, Sherry, Marsala), this whiskey brings a new meaning of smoothness to Irish Whiskey.
The Busker Single Collection, represented by the three traditional Irish Whiskeys (Single Grain, Single Pot Still and Single Malt), is produced under one roof at the world-class Royal Oak Distillery. Each whiskey boasts an unmistakable taste profile, with nuances ranging from vanilla and oak, to rich spicy notes.
The Busker’s superior taste and quality can be attributed to two main factors: The first being the highly skilled distilling team including Master Blender, John Ramsay and Distillery Manager, Lisa Ryan. Together, they possess 55 years of experience creating premium spirits.
John Ramsay a Scotch Whisky icon has been Master Blender for some of the world’s most awarded and respected whiskies. He has developed some of Scotland’s most well-known brands and in his honour, when he retired in 2009, a special limited-edition whisky was released in his name. The brand is very proud to have John involved with The Busker since the beginning. He plays a key role in selecting the finest quality of matured whiskey that goes into each and every bottle.
Lisa Ryan brings her passion and experience for producing the highest quality whiskey by using the finest local ingredients and innovative production processes. Having spent the majority of her career in the drinks industry she was recently recognized as an Icon of Whiskey – Ireland and awarded Distillery Manager of the Year by Whiskey Magazine.
Adding to the uniqueness of The Busker Irish Whiskey is the distillery where it is produced. Built in 2016, on the banks of the river Barrow at Royal Oak in Carlow, located on a 17th century estate, the distillery produces all three types of Irish Whiskey using locally sourced ingredients and spring water.
A major point of differentiation for The Busker takes place during the aging process, where the “Triple Cask Triple Smooth” blend and Single Grain expression matures in authentic, Cantine Florio (1833) Sicilian Marsala wine casks.
The Busker blend suggested retail price is €29.99 and for Single
Grain, Single Malt and Single Pot Still €39.99 to enjoy the full Irish Whiskey experience. The Busker will be available at all independent off licences nationwide.
