John L. Sullivan Irish Whiskey

About This Brand: John L. Sullivan is a small batch Irish Whiskey that is crafted using the finest Irish grain and other local ingredients before being carefully aged in bourbon casks. Triple-distilled in copper pot stills, the spirit preserves the storied traditions of whiskey production. This blended Irish whiskey exhibits subtle notes of spice and vanilla, making for a smooth drinking experience. This imported whiskey is truly worthy of the namesake of an Irish-American icon like the Boston Strong Boy. Born in Boston, MA in October of 1858, John L. Sullivan was raised by his first-generation Irish Immigrant parents. John L. Sullivan played semi-professional baseball in the Boston area before being drafted by the Cincinnati Red Stockings offered in a full pro contract. What did he do? Declined, of course. Fighting was his true calling, and so began the legend of the Boston Strong Boy. Sullivan was the last Bare-Knuckle Boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World AND the first Gloved Boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World.
