Originally distilled at the Cooley Distillery and crafted from 100% malted barley, the expression, at 109.8 proof, was hand-selected in 2020 by Keeper’s Heart Master Distiller Brian Nation, before the Keeper’s Heart distillery opened its doors in Minneapolis. With only one barrel available, this ultra-limited expression will launch this month.

What makes it interesting is a subtle signature of peat—not from the mashbill, but from the history of the pot stills used to distill it. “The pot stills had once been used for peated whiskey and were never fully cleaned,” said Keeper’s Heart Master Distiller Brian Nation. “That faint wisp of smoke became a beautiful and unexpected part of this whiskey’s identity.”

“Every whiskey we release tells a story—but this one is a legend,” added Patrick O’Shaughnessy, Keeper’s Heart Co-founder. “It’s a tribute to the roots we honor and the rare moments we create.”

Keeper’s Heart 32-Year-Old Irish Single Malt will retail for $2,499.
