Noted Irish dancer Michael Flatley has introduced Flatley Whiskey: The Dreamer – his inaugural signature Irish whiskey from a series of unique blends.
The Irish whiskey is developed in collaboration with master blender Noel Sweeney and distilled at the Great Northern Distillery.
Flatley expressed, “Irish whiskey, similar to Irish dance, encapsulates the core of Ireland— its past, its spirit, and its potential to unite people in festivity.
“With ‘The Dreamer’, we’re capturing the essence of Irish custom, the dreams that energize us and the individuals that inspire us.”
Flatley Whiskey has signed a distribution deal in Ireland with premium spirits distributor Dalcassian Wines & Spirits who are stocking bars, hotels, and independent stores across Ireland.
Irish grocery retailer SuperValu is also offering the whiskey in over 175 stores across the country.
Conor O’Flynn, SuperValu whiskey buyer, stated, “We champion all Irish producers and we’re proud to stock some of Ireland’s newest and most exclusive Irish whiskey brands. This is a truly appealing whiskey blended in conjunction with one of the best master-blenders, Noel Sweeney.
“It offers exquisite taste and premium quality, and excellent value. We are confident that our customers will really value this addition to our spirits selection.”
The whiskey is expected to hit the international market soon, starting with a premiere release in the United States during the upcoming summer.
Committed to perfection, Michael Flatley involved himself in every step, from blending to designing the bottle that houses Flatley Irish Whiskey.
Flatley, a noted collector of the Irish Whiskey, conceptualized the idea of this drink during the renovation of his residence, Castlehyde, located in Cork.
The owned Sweeney made a comment stating, “This exquisite five-year-old triple-cask blend is a fusion of grain whiskey and a twice-distilled malt, matured in former casks of bourbon, port, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. The result is a perfect representation of the traditional Irish Whiskey, having smooth complexity.”
Each whiskey bottle adorns the Flatley family crest, honouring his father, who continues to be his greatest hero.
“Irish Whiskey was a favourite of my father’s. It was through his passion that I came to appreciate its complex flavours. So, it’s a very proud moment to launch Flatley Irish Whiskey, as I know he will be smiling down on me,” Flatley added.
