40% ABV
Flaming Pig is the brainchild of Joey and Flor, two drinks industry friends from Ireland who saw a gap in the market for an uncomplicated Irish whiskey that delivered more taste and character than the run-of-the-mill brands. The whiskey is a blend of Irish single malt and grain whiskies, made rich-er and spicier, with added smokiness, from intense barrel charring. After blending, Flaming Pig whiskey is matured in our intensely charred bar-rels for 6 months, then cut with pure spring water to bottling strength. The woody, caramelised flavour from the barrels means it’s as easy to drink as bourbon, but still distinctively Irish.
Why “Flaming Pig”?
Honoring an unsung hero, the whiskey takes its name from the squealing ‘flaming pig’, who woke up the citizens of Dublin during the infamous Great Whiskey Fire of 1875. In matching the intensity of the night, the spirit is aged in Number 5 char barrels, the highest level of char possi-ble, to provide a deeply robust flavor and character.
