Selfridges reveals limited run of ultra-rare whiskies from The Craft Irish Whiskey Co.
By Tempus | 22 October 2022 | Food & Drink
The move sees the return to shelves of The Devil’s Keep, a remarkable £12,400 whiskey which sensationally sold out on its first run
The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. has announced the release of a limited run of its award-winning ultra-rare whiskey portfolio, including The Devil’s Keep, The Brollach and TheTaoscán Collector’s Edition. The portfolio will be available to purchase at exclusive retailer, Selfridges, for the next six months, at both its London store and online.
Whiskey collectors and connoisseurs who missed out when it was first released will be able to find the previously sold out and award-winning, The Devil’s Keep, at Selfridges, with a limited run of just 12 bottles available in store and online priced at £12,400 each. The Devil’s Keep is an extremely rare triple distilled 29.9-year-old single malt whiskey.
Within three months of its launch, The Devil’s Keep achieved the world record for the most expensive inaugural whiskey release ever at auction at USD $60,000 (almost £46,000 and €51,000). It was also judged to be the world’s ‘Best Irish Single Malt’ at the World Whiskies Awards 2022 and made history in 2021 as the only spirit to have won the highest Gold at the prestigious A’Design Awards.
It was aged in 200 litre ‘first fill’ American Bourbon oak casks, then finished in rare French Oak barrels that had once held Tawny Port, before a final finish in Virgin Hungarian Oak, making it the finest whiskey that Ireland has ever created, and also a discerning and legacy investment.
This remarkable expression will be joined by The Brollach, with a limited number of bottles available in store and online priced at £5,900 each. Launched in June 2021, it was the company’s third release with a limited 661 bottles of double-distilled single malt whiskey, matured for two decades.
The Taoscán Collector’s Edition will also be available, limited to a small number of bottles priced at £1,200 each. For those who don't want to break into their Collector’s Edition, the whiskey is widely available to drink in Michelin-starred and other prestigious bars, hotels, golf clubs, and venues across the UK and Ireland. These include Restaurant Gordon Ramsey, The Waterside Inn, Le Manoir and Tom Kerridge’s The Hand & Flowers.
