The Battalion is named in honour of the Battalion San Patricios, or ‘St. Patrick’s Battalion, a group of Irish men who fought for Mexico in the Mexican/American War of 1846-1848.
The Battalion
Inspired by the artisanal spirit makers of Mexico, The battalion is The First Tequila and Mezcal Influenced Irish Whiskey.
As modern whiskey Bonders we do exactly as J.J. Corry would have done, use the casks at his disposal to impart unique flavours in his blends. J.J. had access to rum, Bordeaux & sherry casks, we are lucky enough to be able to look as far afield as Mexico and beyond for flavours that work with Irish Whiskey. we take inspiration from the work of artisanal spirit producers around the world.
