Irish Whiskey Bonding Company – The Grafter
Premium Blended Irish Whiskey | Award-Winning Expression
Five distinctive Irish whiskeys. One exceptional blend.
Discover The Grafter, an award-winning blended Irish whiskey from the Irish Whiskey Bonding Company, carefully crafted from five distinctive Irish whiskeys to create an expression of remarkable balance, richness and character.
Bringing together Shortcross Single Malt, triple-distilled and double-distilled malt whiskeys, alongside traditional Single Pot Still and Grain Irish Whiskey, The Grafter celebrates the craftsmanship and heritage of Irish whiskey blending.
Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon, Sherry and Virgin American Oak casks, this premium blend delivers a beautifully layered flavour profile, where vibrant citrus and delicate florals meet fresh orchard fruits, creamy vanilla and gentle warming spice.
From zesty lime and fragrant rose petals to juicy pear, golden honey and rich caramel, each whiskey contributes its own distinctive character, creating a harmonious blend that is both approachable and wonderfully complex.
Awarded a Gold Medal and 95 Points at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2022, alongside 91 Points from Whisky Advocate.

The Art of Irish Whiskey Blending
At the Irish Whiskey Bonding Company, we celebrate the heritage and craftsmanship of traditional Irish whiskey bonding.
The Grafter brings together five carefully selected Irish whiskeys, each chosen for its distinctive character and contribution to the finished blend.
Shortcross Single Malt introduces rich malt character, while triple-distilled and double-distilled malt whiskeys contribute further layers of complexity. Traditional pot still whiskey adds gentle spice and depth, complemented by the smoothness of grain whiskey.
Maturation in ex-Bourbon, Sherry and Virgin American Oak casks enhances the blend with vibrant fruit, delicate sweetness and warming spice, creating an exceptional harmony of flavours.
The result is a beautifully balanced Irish whiskey, offering both complexity and approachability, whether enjoyed neat, over ice or shared with good company.
Five Irish whiskeys. Three cask influences. One exceptional expression.
