Who makes Busker Irish whiskey?

Answered by Michael Weatherspoon

The Busker is crafted at the Royal Oak Distillery, which serves as its home. Within the walls of this distillery, all three styles of Irish whiskey – pot still, , and grain – are meticulously distilled under one roof. This unique approach sets The Busker apart from other whiskey producers, as it allows for a harmonious blending of traditional methods with innovative and techniques.

At the Royal Oak Distillery, we take immense pride in our craft and strive to create an authentic and high-quality Irish whiskey. Each step of the whiskey-making process is carefully executed, from sourcing the finest ingredients to distillation and maturation. We believe in the importance of balance and aim to showcase the best of Irish whiskey traditions while also embracing the opportunities for creativity and experimentation.

When it comes to the production of The Busker Irish Whiskey, we do not compromise on quality. The pot still whiskey is crafted using a combination of malted and unmalted barley, which is triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills. This method results in a rich and robust flavor profile, with notes of spice, fruit, and a creamy texture.

For the malt whiskey, we use 100% malted barley and also employ the triple distillation process. This style of whiskey offers a smooth and elegant taste, with hints of vanilla, honey, and floral undertones.

Lastly, the grain whiskey is made from a mixture of corn, wheat, and barley and is distilled using column stills. This style of whiskey is known for its light and approachable character, with flavors of caramel, toasted oak, and a touch of grain sweetness.

By distilling all three styles of Irish whiskey at the Royal Oak Distillery, we have the unique ability to create a diverse range of expressions, each with its own distinct character and flavor profile. This allows whiskey enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the rich heritage of Irish whiskey while also experiencing the innovation and craftsmanship that The Busker brings to the table.

The Busker Irish Whiskey is made at the Royal Oak Distillery, where we combine traditional methods with modern techniques to create a range of high-quality and authentic Irish whiskeys. Our commitment to craftsmanship, balance, and innovation sets us apart in the whiskey industry, and we take great pride in bringing the best of Irish whiskey to enthusiasts around the world.
