THE
PRODUCT

The second new release from Thomond Gate Whiskey in its ‘Departed Spirits of Limerick’ series, pays homage to a rebellious hero known as Galloping Hogan, from Doon, Co Limerick. In 1690, this infamous rapparee, along with Patrick Sarsfield and 500 Jacobite troops, successfully lead a daring ride to Ballyneety to blow up a Williamite siege train. In memory of Galloping Hogan and the French involvement in the siege of Limerick, we have sourced a Single Malt Irish Whiskey, which we have finished in a French Cognac cask. This limited release of 288 bottles, Galloping Hogan has been bottled at cask strength (59.59% ABV) with non-chill filtration and natural colour. Each bottle has been hand filled, labelled and embellished with a unique coin engraved with the individual bottle number.

NOSE: Aromas of creamy vanilla, juicy grape, pears, blackberries, and toasted honey biscuits.
PALATE: On the palate – butterscotch, fresh juicy grape, vanilla, cinnamon, honey and biscuits.
FINISH: Length Medium plus finish with flavours evolve on the palate to a somewhat complex end.
