Coleraine 1959 34 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70cl, 57.1% ABV
This rare Coleraine expression was crafted from scarce reserves distilled in 1959 and matured for 34 years. Released in 1993, fifteen years after the distillery's closure, this limited edition comprises just 400 bottles, making it a highly collectible single malt Irish whiskey.
Previously one of the most respected of Ireland's distilleries, Coleraine fell victim to the decline and rationalisation of the Irish whiskey industry in the 20th century.
Distilling had been going on in the Coleraine area since the early seventeenth century, although the distillery itself did not become operational until over two hundred years later. Its reputation was high in the later nineteenth century, to the extent that Coleraine supplied whiskey to the House of Commons, subsequently selling their product under the name of Old Irish HC.
