Whiskey Ambassador Pete Wagner is no stranger to the Mix Studio Bar. And he’s just in time to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day…albeit a little early. Slane Irish Whiskey is on the menu today. It’s a very versatile whiskey with a triple-casked aging process which adds to its warm golden hue, alluring aroma and remarkable taste. It’s aged in new barrels, seasoned oak barrels formerly used for Jack Daniel’s and Woodford Reserve, and Oloroso sherry casks so you can taste the complexity in every sip. Slane is distilled at Slane Castle in Ireland just outside of Dublin surrounded by nature and steeped in history. Slane has a sustainable and conscious approach to distilling and uses modern equipment to create and craft every bottle of whiskey.
