Miguel Hogan Single Malt honours Michael “Galloping” Hogan, the famed rapparee from East Limerick whose courage shaped both Irish and Portuguese history. After guiding Sarsfield’s daring attack on the Williamite siege train at Ballyneety in 1690 — where he is said to have lit the fuse — Hogan refused to accept the Treaty of Limerick and later departed with the last of the Wild Geese in 1692.
His journey took him to France, where he rose through the ranks before a duel in Flanders in 1706 forced him into exile once more. Portugal became his new home. There, as Miguel Hogan, he served as a senior officer and led Portuguese forces at the Battle of Campo Maior in 1712. He remained in Portugal for the rest of his life, becoming part of its military heritage.
Inspired by this chapter, our 5-year-old Single Malt begins in ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in Ruby Port casks from the Douro Valley. The result is a vibrant, fruit-led whiskey that reflects both the spirit of Ireland and the warmth of Hogan’s adopted homeland.
