If you want the best Irish whiskey, you need to go to the source. 2 Gingers founder Kieran Folliard is just the man for the job. Lucky for you, the Irishman is bringing his distinct taste for smooth whiskey to a pub or store near you, so it won’t be long before you can get your hands on a bottle.
2 Gingers is named for Folliard’s mother and aunt, the two fiery-haired women whose faces adorn every bottle’s label. The 80-proof blend is twice-distilled and aged for four years. The result is a smooth whiskey that goes down easy, with a slightly sweet taste followed by a tinge of honey and citrus. The unique flavors make this an Irish whiskey for men and women alike, with an accesible taste that everyone can enjoy.
You don’t have to drink 2 Gingers straight, either. Folliard helped create the Big Ginger for those who like their spirits with something to soften the blow. To make the signature cocktail, pour 1.5 parts 2 Gingers whiskey into a pint glass with ice, then top up with ginger ale and a wedge of both lemon and lime. It’s a season-less drink that will instantly convert the few remaining Irish whiskey skeptics.
2 Gingers is already an established whiskey in Minnesota and is available in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, the Dakotas and Wisconsin. It has recently been made available in Boston and New York City. The suggested retail price is $19.99 for a 750 ml bottle.
