Flaming Pig Irish Whiskey – Bold Character, No Waffle
Flaming Pig Irish Whiskey is not here to overcomplicate things. Instead, it delivers exactly what whiskey lovers want: great aroma, even better taste, and plenty of character. Inspired by a legendary moment in Irish whiskey history, this modern blend honours “The Pig That Saved Irish Whiskey” while confidently forging its own path. As a result, Flaming Pig stands out as an Irish whiskey that is rich, smooth, and unmistakably bold.
A Legendary Story with a Modern Twist
Back in 1875, Dublin’s Great Whiskey Fire threatened to destroy thousands of barrels of whiskey. According to legend, the alarm was raised by the squeal of a flaming pig, saving both the city and its precious whiskey stocks. Over a century later, Flaming Pig Irish Whiskey was created to celebrate that dramatic moment. However, this whiskey is not about nostalgia alone. It is about flavour, enjoyment, and approachability.
Crafted for Flavour, Not Fuss
Flaming Pig is the brainchild of Joey and Flor, two Irish drinks industry veterans who wanted more from everyday Irish whiskey. Therefore, they created a blend of Irish single malt and grain whiskies that offers depth without pretence. While tradition is respected, Flaming Pig focuses on drinkability first. Good whiskey, after all, is meant to be enjoyed rather than analysed.
Intensely Charred Barrels for Deeper Taste
What truly sets Flaming Pig apart is its unique barrel finishing. After blending, the whiskey is matured for six months in intensely charred American oak barrels. In the whiskey world, most barrels are charred to levels one through four. Flaming Pig, however, takes things further with a level five char. Consequently, the barrels deliver deeper caramelisation and a richer flavour profile.
These blackened casks, affectionately known as “flaming pigs,” infuse the whiskey with notes of vanilla, spice, caramel, butterscotch, and subtle smoke. The result is a whiskey that is as easy to drink as bourbon, yet still proudly Irish in style.
Smooth, Approachable, and Versatile
Cut with pure spring water to bottling strength, Flaming Pig Irish Whiskey offers a smooth mouthfeel and a warm, satisfying finish. It works beautifully neat, over ice, or in classic whiskey cocktails. Whether you are new to Irish whiskey or simply want something with more punch, Flaming Pig delivers flavour without intimidation.
