About HYDE
The HYDE family have been involved in the Irish drinks business for over twelve generations since 1640. HYDE is presidential quality Irish whiskey named in honour of Ireland’s very first president Douglas Hyde. President HYDE was an inspirational figure who helped to define Ireland’s national identity.
At HYDE we carefully hand select only the very finest Irish whiskey, made by only the very best Irish whiskey distilleries, which we then finish in vintage oak casks which we source directly from distilleries and bodegas around the world. HYDE premium Irish whiskey is bottled in small limited edition batches and non-chill filtered for a more original character. We apply specific charring levels to our vintage oak casks in order to create a whiskey that is rich in character and truly unique in taste.
The three samples I received from hyde were:
– HYDE No. 8 Heritage cask – It’s a Stout cask finished whiskey bottled at 46% ABV.
– HYDE No. 6 President’s reserve – It’s a blended Irish Whiskey much older single malt & 8 year old single grain finished in sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV.
– HYDE No. 1 President’s Cask – It’s a single malt Irish whiskey aged for 10 years and is finished in sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV.
Review of these will come in the future.
