Local grocers, who were legally bonded whiskey wholesalers, would arrive at the gates, fill their own casks with spirit, age it, blend it and sell it. J.J.

All aged 21 years, each single malt was chosen based on its unique flavour profile and attributes. Initially, these casks were blended to develop a vatting which perfectly represents J.J. Corry's juicy fruit house style, before the flavours were married in a Fino Sherry Butt, to harmonize and impart complexity, giving the whiskey a rich, grapelike and floral character. The Flintlock Batch 4 is bottled at 46% ABV without any artificial colouring or chill-filtration. The Flintlock series is named after a pistol found concealed in the rafters of J.J. Corry's 17th-century Tasting Barn on the McGuane family farm.
