Description

This young, bold bourbon has enticing aromas of vanilla, honey, toffee, bananas and fresh bread. To taste, it’s lively and succulent, with flavours of red apples and toffee, rich molasses and a twist of black pepper. Luscious, lingering and moreish.

In 1842 an unusual alliance was forged: Texas set up its legation, accredited to the Court of St. James’s, above Berry Bros. & Rudd’s wine and spirits shop at No 3 St. James Street, London. It was an attempt to shore up the then Republic’s independence against the United States; the Lone Star State has remained an ally of Britain, and of Berry Bros. & Rudd, ever since.

Distilled for Berry Bros. & Rudd by Ironroot Republic is the latest chapter in this intriguing alliance. While its name is a nod to historic diplomatic ties, the whisky itself is something distinctly new. Created by brothers Robert and Jonathan Likarish, whose craft distillery was founded in 2013, and expertly blended by Berry Bros. & Rudd nose Doug McIvor, this bold Bourbon is a true Texan spirit.

About this SPIRIT

Ironroot Republic Distilling

Ironroot Republic Distilling

Founded in 2013, the name honours the legacy of a famed citizen of the distillery’s home town, Denison, Texas, and horticulturist Thomas Volney Munson. Munson pioneered methods in creating phylloxera-resistant vines by grafting European rootstock on to American vines.

The distillery creates hand-crafted spirits focused on fresh, local and non-GMO ingredients. A true grain distillery, 95 percent of the grains used originate from within 60 miles of the distillery, and all grain is mashed, fermented, distilled, and barrel-aged on site.

For the production of their whiskeys and brandies, double distillation in a traditional Scottish style pot still is used. The ageing process is based on the French élevage technique which is typically employed for aging Cognac and Armagnac.
