The Pogues Irish Whiskey Now Available in US
Having sampled their share of brown spirits over the years, the band, known for Fairytale in New York and other hits, was deeply involved in the creation of The Pogues Irish Whiskey from start to finish. Rich with the band's legendary spirit, character and poetic rebelliousness, The Pogues Irish Whiskey is a unique blend of 50% 10-year single malt Irish whiskey aged in sherry casks and 50% 5-7 year Irish grain whiskey aged in bourbon oak casks. The resulting liquid has an aroma of malts and cracked nuts, with a sweet taste and a smooth, intense flavor. </P

Notably, West Cork is Ireland's only whiskey producer to still malt its own barley, enabling exceptional precision and control over flavor profile.
"It's been brilliant working with the team at West Cork Distillers in creating a whiskey that we all think reflects our spirit and energy, and that we all enjoy the taste of," said Shane MacGowan along with Pogues band members, Jem Finer, Andrew Ranken, Spider Stacy, James Fearnley, Terry Woods, and Darryl Hunt. "It's wonderful to add a product bearing our name to the ranks of great Irish whiskeys, and we think it will stand the test of time."
The Pogues Irish Whiskey is distilled using ingredients indigenous to Ireland, including locally grown grain and spring water from the idyllic River Ilen. It's carefully crafted in small batches in handmade copper stills at West Cork's distillery in Skiberdeen, the cultural home of Irish whiskey.
"The Pogues Irish Whiskey represents the ideal blending of tradition and quality from our friends at West Cork, and the rich Irish heritage and culture of the band," said Justin Shaw, VP of Brand & Market Strategy at MS Walker. "We can't wait for American aficionados of the band and whiskey, new and old, to enjoy their first taste."
The Pogues Irish Whiskey (40%ABV) is imported into the United States by MS Walker, and is available just in time for St. Patrick's Dayat bars, restaurants and retailers throughout the country. Suggested Retail Price: $39.99 for 750ml. Assets, including product sheet, videos and images, can be downloaded here. For more information visit www.thepoguesirishwhiskey.com.

American Whiskey Comes Home: American Whiskey Convention is a Grand Tasting at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA on March 25th
Up until prohibition, Pennsylvania was at the heart of American Rye whiskey production. Pennsylvania grew the grains, distilled the spirits and distributed whiskey to the entire nation. Today, there is an American whiskey renaissance happening, and once again,Pennsylvania is taking center stage.
Organized by the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation, the American Whiskey Convention will draw distillers from all over the country to showcase their bourbons and American whiskeys. Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies, in Philadelphia PA is the backdrop for this celebration of American whiskey.
"We are very excited to be able to host the American Whiskey Convention. We have put together a whiskey event for people who enjoy whiskey. I wanted an event that highlights the creativity happening in American whiskey right now, everything from farming, distilling and the artisans who draw their inspiration from the booming whiskey scene. There is so much going on and American Whiskey deserves to have the spotlight to itself," says Laura Fields, CEO and founder of Delaware Valley Fields Foundation.
The event is more than a grand tasting. On hand will be local farmers and malt houses to talk about the role they play in the production of whiskey. Artisans will demonstrate their whiskey-related creations. Master distillers Herman Mihalich, of Dad's Hat andDave Pickerell, the man behind Whistle Pig and many others, host discussion classes for whiskey connoisseurs. Sarah Milne, of Heaven Hill, hosts a Whiskey 101 tasting for those who are new to whiskey. Mixologists from TwistedTail will be teaching how to make great whiskey cocktails. The Victory Special Order Lounge highlights whiskeys not found on PA liquor store shelves.
"We've been fortunate to work with so many great partners – the distillers themselves, the Phillies, Sugarhouse Casino, Victory Motorcycles, PLCB and so many more. It has been a collaborative effort to create this spectacular event that puts Pennsylvania andPhiladelphia back at the center of the American Whiskey map," Laura continues.
The event is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation to help promote the role that local small farming plays in the production of whiskey. The Delaware Valley Fields Foundation is committed to promoting the role and history of local small farming. Working together with farmers and other local non-profits, the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation helps bring attention to the vital role of small farming in our communities.
