J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey: The Art of Bonding

J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey is not merely another brand we are introducing at IWF24 this November. Known for mastering the art of bonding for centuries, “JJC” stands out in its field. Jessie Lynch will be the face of J.J. Corry in The Hague, bringing a track record that spans from grassroots engagement with local accounts to her present position of hosting tastings, participating in whiskey festivals, and seeking new ventures in the industry.

‘In my tastings and masterclasses, I love sharing my enthusiasm for the brand by diving into the history of whiskey bonding and how J.J. Corry has brought this tradition back to life. We’ll taste some exceptional whiskeys together, and I’ll take you through the stories and craftsmanship that make each one special.’

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.
