We’re proud to announce a very limited collaboration with Clonakilty Distillery. In November 2021, right after we finished canning our 2021 BA Towpath, we bubble wrapped our mostly-empty barrels, carefully stacked them in a shipping container, and sent them off to our friends at Clonakilty Distillery in Ireland. They then transferred a small batch of their Irish Whiskey, a blend of several whiskeys, which had been aging in their own barrels perched high on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic for between 5 and 8 years, into the Towpath barrels. The whiskey aged in the Towpath barrels for 9 months, adding some roasty and chocolatey characteristics to the already smooth spirits. The result is a very limited batch of handcrafted whiskey that is sure to please whiskey and beer drinkers alike. We won’t be able to sell full bottles to-go at the taproom, but we will be pouring this at the bar while supplies last. Bottles will be available for sale at select liquor stores in the area starting mid November. We’ll also be hosting a preview event where you can meet the distillery and sample some whiskey. Info below!
Preview Event Info: The fine folks from Clonakilty Distillery will be here at Big Ditch on October 29th from 2PM-5PM to preview the whiskey before it’s available in stores. The event is free to attend and snacks and samples will be provided. More info HERE.
We can’t wait for you to try this!
