Clonakilty Distillery is delighted to announce their exciting new partnership, with OLD Glory DC Major Rugby League. As part of the sponsorship deal, Clonakilty will be producing two exclusive whiskey expressions for OLD Glory DC. Firstly, a limited-edition release of rum finished, Irish whiskey; bottled at cask strength, and individually numbered for the whiskey collectors out there. This rare bottling will be available for purchase at limited locations – to be announced in the coming weeks. Purchasers of the exclusive rum cask finish will be entered to win a trip for two to Ireland in 2021. Also being released is a more accessible Bordeaux cask finished Irish whiskey, bottled at 46% ABV, to be sold in the DC, Virginia & Maryland markets.
Both bottlings will also be available for sale through the Old Glory website from March 2021.
“What could go together better than rugby and Irish whiskey?” posited Chris Dunlavey, Chairman of Old Glory DC. “Our partnership with Clonakilty Irish Whiskey represents another addition to Old Glory’s family of partners and our aim to bring the best of rugby culture – as well as the best of the sport itself – to our Mid-Atlantic home.”
Michael Scully from Clonakilty Whiskey, said:
“As a genuine Irish Atlantic Ocean distillery, we feel our award-winning spirits offer a pretty unique experience for discerning consumers. We feel this partnership further strengthens our commitment to succeeding within the American market. We are excited to be working in partnership with Old Glory DC and wish them all the best for the upcoming season.”
Both bottlings will be available for sale through the Old Glory website from March 2021. Purchasers of the exclusive rum cask finish will have the opportunity to win a trip for two to Ireland in 2021
