The mahogany-colored spirit offers sweet vanilla and dried fruit aromas, with a palate of dark syrup, raisins, and warm spices leading to a long finish of chocolate fondant and sweet cinnamon.

# Ardara Distillery to Release Frank Carr's Irish Poitín Lionnir Next Week

Frank Carr's Irish Poitín Lionnir revives a historical spirit from Donegal originally illegally distilled by Frank Carr, grandfather of Ardara Distillery owner James Doherty. The unfiltered spirit, at 47.8% ABV, features peated malt, molasses, and oatmeal, creating a bright, smooth citrus flavor with notes of coffee and pipe smoke. This traditional Irish spirit, often called the "mother of whiskey," was banned for centuries until 1997 and represents an authentic piece of Irish distilling heritage with its name "Lionnir" inspired by sunlight shimmering on waves.

MGP Ingredients reported a nearly 24% revenue decline in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year, with profits falling 30% to $58.4 million. The Distilling Solutions segment was particularly affected, dropping 46% due to overstocked customer inventories and waning consumer interest in brown spirits. Premium whiskeys, however, showed slight growth, with Penelope Bourbons increasing sales by 64% during the quarter.

As a major contract producer for the US whiskey industry and owner of brands like Lux Row Distillers and Bardstown, MGP faces industry-wide challenges and a class-action lawsuit alleging lack of transparency. Despite these difficulties, CFO Brandon Gall expressed confidence that strategic measures are working and business performance will stabilize and improve during the remainder of the year.

The Distilled Spirits Council of the US (Discus) has described the tariff deal with the EU as "utterly exasperating." The organization sharply criticizes the failure to exempt wine and spirits from the 15% tariff, which particularly impacts regionally produced products like Bourbon and Scotch. CEO Chris Swonger emphasized the importance of returning to zero tariffs to protect the 1.7 million jobs in the US spirits industry. Implementation of the tariffs has been delayed until August 7 to allow time for ex*****on.

Glenallachie Distillery has released its first hand-selected Meikle Tòir Single Cask bottlings, featuring two exclusive single casks. One is available only at the distillery (a 7-year-old Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogshead from 2018), while the other was sold exclusively online (a 6-year-old Oloroso Sherry Hogshead from 2019) but quickly sold out. Under Master Distiller Billy Walker's direction, the Meikle Tòir range represents Glenallachie's mission to produce peated whiskies from Speyside with distinctive smokiness—unusual for this region—using mainland peat from St Fergus and extended 160-hour fermentation times for a complex, ester-rich character.

Serge Valentin opens August with an international whisky tasting featuring spirits from France, Vietnam, China, Australia, England, and Taiwan. An Australian 21-year-old peated whisky from Hellyers Road earned the highest score of 90 points, while a Vietnamese rice whisky received the lowest rating but remains "drinkable," especially over ice. The tasting highlights the growing quality of whiskies from non-traditional producing countries, with Australian and Taiwanese expressions particularly impressing Valentin.
