Molly Malone

The Molly Malone Whiskey  Company was founded by Richard Lombard-Chibnall, global marketing director for the family company Lombard. Richard explains: “Originally whisky merchants, my family have a 300 year history in the wine and spirit business, including 60 years in the Whisky industry. As one of the original independents, Lombard was beholden to no single distiller. Entering the market as a supplier of bulk whisky to blenders, the family invested in whiskies of the highest standard. Select distilleries were commissioned to produce ‘new fill’ and from date of distillation Lombard took full control over the maturation of its stocks. The company holds, matures and bottles from its own whiskies.

PRODUCTION

To create a light and sweet, premium Irish whiskey, we selected the finest Irish malts from the highest grade American oak (Quercus Alba). To ensure the wood remains neutral to the light character of the malt, we choose second fill bourbon casks (bourbon absorbing the coconut and vanilla tannins of the new wood). These casks are then married to the Irish grain.

A premium Irish whiskey

We hand select the finest Irish malts and craft them in small batches to create a premium whiskey that’s light on the palate and deliciously sweet – just like our namesake Molly Malone. Only the best Irish single malt and grains are married together, and we distil them according to Irish tradition.

We choose second fill bourbon casks (bourbon absorbing the coconut and vanilla tannins of the new wood) from the highest grade American oak (Quercus Alba) to enhance the flavour of the whiskey without overpowering the light character of the malt.

 

Molly Malone the icon

Embedded into the Irish DNA, Molly Malone is a legend of Irish folklore. You can hear her song spilling out of Dublin pubs – especially when there’s a national rugby match on. And there’s probably no better description of her than the lyrics to the song itself…

‘Alive, alive, oh!’
