Michael Flatley has launched Flatley Whiskey: The Dreamer, his first signature Irish whiskey from a series of special blends.
Crafted in partnership with Ireland's esteemed Master Blender Noel Sweeney and distilled at the Great Northern Distillery, this premium 5-year-old whiskey embodies the spirit of dreams, passion and mastery.
The Flatley family crest adorning each bottle is a nod to his father, who was and still is his hero. Like so many Irish, Michael Snr left for the US in 1947 but his love for the home country never left him. His deep influence is clear from Michael's passion for Irish music and dance. Celebrated for his contributions to Irish dance and culture internationally, Flatley says it has always been his dream to have his own Irish Whiskey and to leave a legacy for the Flatley name.
"Irish Whiskey was a favourite of my father's. It was through his passion that I came to appreciate its complex flavours. So, it's a very proud moment to launch Flatley Irish Whiskey, as I know he will be smiling down on me." "It's a tribute to the undaunted dreamers who shape the world." The label reads: Savour the spirit of ambition and the warmth of achieving the extraordinary. Dream boldly, savour deeply.
Commenting on 'The Dreamer', Noel continued, "This five-year-old triple-cask blend combines grain whiskey and double-distilled malt matured in former bourbon, port and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The whiskey embodies a quintessential Irish Whiskey style with smooth complexity."
