NatterJack Irish Whiskey Blend Nº1, a modern vision of Irish whiskey
NatterJack Irish Whiskey Blend Nº1 is a clear example of how Ireland continues to produce whiskies with their own identity. At Licorea we appreciate this kind of proposal—one that respects Irish tradition while bringing a fresh, contemporary approach. This whiskey was created with a very defined idea: to combine the natural smoothness of the Irish style with a more open and expressive profile. Its name pays tribute to the Irish natterjack toad, a species that symbolises movement and adaptability—two values that perfectly match the spirit of this blend.
The team behind NatterJack aims to give every bottle a straightforward, honest character. Its production combines intention and precision to create an Irish whiskey that is accessible, versatile and full of personality. Within our Irish whiskey selection at Licorea, this NatterJack Irish Whiskey Blend Nº1 is the only one inspired so directly by local wildlife—something we believe will offer Irish whiskey enthusiasts a distinctive and pleasantly curious experience.
The origin and philosophy behind the project
NatterJack Irish Whiskey Blend Nº1 was created in Ireland with a very clear goal: to produce a whiskey that speaks of the country while avoiding a rigid attachment to traditional formulas. The producers build on centuries of Irish whiskey heritage—triple distillation, carefully selected grains and meticulous craftsmanship are still essential pillars. To this foundation they add more modern ideas, focusing on creating a flavour profile that is expressive and easy to enjoy.
The production process relies on the expertise of distillers who know their raw materials well. The base of the blend combines different types of grain and malt to balance smoothness and character. Once distilled, the spirit is matured in casks chosen to enhance its profile, with particular attention to the overall harmony. The key lies in finding the point where each component appears naturally without overshadowing the others.
Maturation and casks, an essential element
The maturation of NatterJack Irish Whiskey Blend Nº1 involves casks that add depth without overwhelming the spirit. These selected casks often provide a warm touch that suits the Irish style well. This stage is crucial, as it shapes the final character of the whiskey. The casks allow the spirit to gain structure and a more rounded profile, resulting in a clean and stable whiskey.
The philosophy is straightforward: allow the whiskey to rest and evolve calmly, without haste or excessive intervention. The wood works naturally, setting the pace. This approach produces a whiskey with personality—one that preserves Ireland’s signature smoothness while adding an expressive edge that makes it stand out within its category.
Character and identity of the whiskey
Although the tasting notes are detailed in another section, we can highlight that this whiskey is built around a sense of balance. The Irish style has always emphasised smoothness, and that trait remains present here. However, NatterJack Irish Whiskey Blend Nº1 goes a step further, offering a vivid, direct and slightly more energetic sensation.
The profile is clear and consistent. The whiskey flows naturally from the first sip, leaving a pleasant, well-rounded feel. This makes it an ideal option for a wide range of consumers—from those already familiar with Irish whiskey to newcomers looking for a gentle introduction to the world of whiskey.
A young brand with its own personality
The image of the Irish natterjack toad, which gives the brand its name, reflects its philosophy perfectly. The animal moves quickly and adapts to different environments—a symbol of flexibility and change. This idea forms the core of the whiskey’s identity. NatterJack wants to convey movement and evolution. It is not trying to be a purely classic whiskey; it aims to be an Irish whiskey with a modern voice.
At Licorea we see this approach as a real added value. Many customers look for products with identity, not just well-made bottles.
