W.D. O’Connell Union Road 70cl

Introducing Union Road, a distinctive Irish whiskey from W.D. O’Connell Whiskey Merchants, showcasing their signature approach to small-batch, cask-driven releases.

Inspired by Union Road in Waterford, home to the W.D. O’Connell bottling house at Kilmacthomas, this expression reflects the brand’s commitment to modern Irish whiskey craftsmanship with depth and balance.

Crafted from a blend of single malt and grain whiskey, Union Road is matured for a minimum of 5 years in a carefully selected combination of cask types:

• Ex-bourbon barrels
• New oak
• Ex-Oloroso sherry casks
• Re-charred bourbon casks

This multi-cask maturation builds a layered and complex profile, bringing together sweetness, spice, and rich oak influence in harmony.

On the palate, expect:

• Vanilla and caramel richness
• Dried fruit and raisin sweetness
• Toasted oak and baking spice
• Gentle honeyed warmth and a rounded finish

Bottled at 43% ABV, non-chill filtered, Union Road is designed to showcase texture and character rather than polish, a modern Irish whiskey that reflects both tradition and innovation.

A flagship style release that highlights what W.D. O’Connell does best: bold, expressive, independently crafted Irish whiskey with real personality.
