MacCormaics to partner with Cult Brands to distribute Jack Ryans Irish Whiskey
Jack Ryan Whiskey are Whiskey finishers as opposed to distillers. It's a noble tradition going back a long way to when Dublin was the Whiskey capital of the world, in the mid 1800's. Some vintners began to toy with sourcing good aged malt, and maturing and finishing it further in their own casks, procured from various importers including wine merchants.
This is the tradition that Thomas Ryan of Toomevara Tipperary, son and grandson of distillery managers and barley farmers, became part of in 1913, when he set up his whiskey finishing hall on Haddington Road, Dublin in 1913, his Ryan’s Malt a city favourite.
The eponymous Jack Ryan was his son, and with him, the Ryans’ Finisher’s Touch was well established. Irish Whiskey went through hard times towards the end of the 20th century, but is now coming back into its own. Jack’s son and scion Eunan Ryan revived the family Whiskey finishing with Jack Ryan 12YO, to award-winning effect – Irish Whiskey Awards and San Francisco World Spirits Gold.
MacCormaics will distribute Jack Ryans range from September 2026.
