The Art of Peated Irish Whiskey Blending

At the Irish Whiskey Bonding Company, we celebrate the heritage and tradition of Irish whiskey bonding, carefully selecting and marrying distinctive whiskey styles to create expressions with exceptional character.

The Chancer brings together five Irish whiskeys, each contributing its own unique qualities to the finished blend.

Shortcross Peated Single Malt introduces aromatic smoke and depth, while the complementary malt whiskeys bring richness and complexity. Traditional pot still whiskey adds distinctive spice, while grain whiskey contributes softness and balance.

Maturation in ex-Bourbon, Sherry and Virgin American Oak casks introduces further layers of flavour, enhancing the whiskey with sweet vanilla, orchard fruits and warming spice.

The result is an expertly balanced peated Irish whiskey, where smoke never overwhelms but instead complements a beautifully rich and fruit-forward character.

A little daring. A touch of smoke. Unmistakably The Chancer.
