Ryan McCafferty, co-founder of Tri Carragh, said: “We’ve launched our second independent release of authentic, single-malt Scotch whisky. The first release was incredibly well received and it’s been a joy to see the response from customers and stockists.
“With this second release, we’ve gone even further in our quest to find exceptional casks that showcase the best of Scotch whisky. This release contains whisky produced at different distilleries and of different ages compared to the first release. In addition, the bottles are all from the same region, Highland, but are unique.”
