Eddie Rudzinksas, founder of Cocktails For You, is thrilled to announce the launch of Old Baile Irish Whiskey, finished in rum casks, in collaboration with his partners at Old Carrick Mill Distillery
Carrickmacross, County Monaghan –17 March 2025– Old Carrick Mill Distillery is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest creation, Old Baile Irish Whiskey, a unique offering that combines time-honoured tradition with modern innovation. This exceptional whiskey, finished in Appleton Rum casks, pays homage to Ireland's rich distilling heritage while delivering a contemporary tasting experience.
Old Baile, meaning "Old Town" in Irish, embodies the spirit of Carrickmacross, where the historic flour mill has stood for generations. This new whiskey is crafted with authenticity and designed for today's discerning drinker, standing as a testament to quality without compromise and tradition without limitations.
Old Baile is triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged in American ex-bourbon barrels before its unique finishing in rum casks. The result is a smooth, complex profile that delights the senses with layers of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, complemented by hints of tropical spice and dark fruit from the rum influence. Enhanced by naturally filtered limestone spring water, each sip offers an exceptionally clean and balanced whiskey that bridges Ireland's past with its future.
"Old Baile is more than just a whiskey; it’s a celebration of our heritage and a bold step into the future," said Steven, Master Distiller at Old Carrick Mill Distillery. "We have blended traditional techniques with contemporary refinement to create a whiskey that delivers a bold yet balanced experience, sip by sip."
The founders of Old Baile—Steven Murphy, Eddie Rudzinskas, and Artem Skapenko—are seasoned industry veterans with over 40 years of combined experience in hospitality and spirits innovation.
Their shared vision has led to the creation of a whiskey that not only honors the past but also resonates with modern drinkers.
Old Baile Irish Whiskey will be available for a limited time only at select retailers, including Andy's Bar Monaghan and other specialty retailers. It can also be purchased online through the Old Carrick Mill Distillery website www.oldcarrickmill.ie
