Lea & Sandeman review

This boutique blend comes from the legendary Irish home of rock n’roll – Slane Castle in County Meath. In 2009, at the Oasis concert, Henry and his son Alex, The Earl of Mount Charles launched the Conyngham family’s latest venture Slane Castle Whiskey. The family have enjoyed Irish Whiskey for generations and one hundred years ago there were many family owned distilleries spread throughout Ireland. Today there are only four distilleries in Ireland and with Slane Castle Whiskey the Conyngham family is looking to resurrect the tradition of the family owned Irish whiskey. Slane Castle Whiskey was carefully put together with Noel Sweeney, the Master Blender at the nearby award winning Cooley Distillery, Ireland’s only independently owned distillery. Alex Mount Charles worked with Noel on selecting the casks of single malt and grain whiskey to create the unique Slane Castle Whiskey blend. Getting the blend right was a long but enjoyable process in the end the choice of blend was narrowed down to three possibilities. Alex then took these three blends to his father Henry and his Grandfather - and after an enjoyable family evening the bottle with the least in it the next morning was chosen as the Slane Castle Whiskey blend. Three generations of the Conyngham family therefore chose this delicious, smooth blend.
