If our Founders had more in common, Red Locks may never have been born.

Noel Sweeney is a master at his craft and a scientist, Kieran a romantic entrepreneur. Noel’s built a career over decades patiently honing his craft while Kieran is flying around starting projects primarily on instinct and passion.

It was funny to watch this play out in the creation of the Red Locks blend. Noel showed his notorious flair for soft, delicate Irish whiskey with the introduction of a luxurious and traditional sherry cask finish. Kieran advocated for a boldness that would hold up in a cocktail, and a special something that could keep American palettes salivating over Irish whiskey. Noel rose to the challenge with a blend finished in Sherry, Ex-Bourbon, Rye and (wild card) Virgin Oak casks…

The result, we hope, is a blend that makes the experience of the best of Irish whiskey accessible to anyone who gives it a shot.

This time it’s content creation, how do our photos come together? It usually involves a phonecall to a pub to ask to invade for an hour or two before opening, a trip to Irish on Grand for supplies, and all hands on deck.

For this photo, our inspiration was authentic Irish style food (not corned beef and cabbage - so sorry!), that still elevated and highlighted the local food scene here in Minneapolis.
