J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey - Trade in Spirits
J.J.Corry brings us back what was once extinct: Bonding.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, hundreds of distilleries
existed in Ireland, but most did not blend or
bottle their whiskey. This was done by Whiskey Bonders.
Bonders were publicans, merchants and
independent bottlers, who sourced new make spirit from
distilleries which they aged in their own
casks, before blending and bottling for local customers. After the collapse of the Irish Whiskey industry, this thriving tradition became extinct. Until now.
J.J.Corry
In the 1800s, our inspiration and namesake J.J. Corry was an independent Irish whiskey Bonder in port town of Kilrush, County Clare. As a whiskey bonder, he was licensed to buy wholesale whiskey from the nearest distillery; age it in sherry, port or wine casks he acquired from trading ships; and create unique blends for private clients, hotels and bars.
Library of flavours
The casks and whiskeys under our care are curated stories in
liquid form. No one else has built such an impressive library of flavours. As
modern bonder, Louise is free to select the most promising new-make and rare,
aged Single Malts, Single Grains and Potstills from Ireland’s many
distilleries. JJC travels the globe to collaborate with our partners-in-craft
to source unusual and special barrels
in which to age out whiskey. We partnered with the World’s
Best Cooperage 2023, Casknolia, to select a range of oak barrels that have been
seasoned with varying styles of sherry wines from the Sherry Triangle.
