About This Sailor's Home Release
Sailor's Home The Journey Irish Whiskey reflects Sailor’s Home’s passion to create unique, delicious whiskey experiences. Every stop along the way adding to the adventure. Aging Irish whiskey first in Virgin American oak, then recasking into American Bourbon barrels. These whiskeys are then brought together with malt Irish whiskey matured in American Bourbon and finished in Jamaican Rum casks, adding tropical fruits and rum notes. An approach that works well, creating a most enjoyable premium Irish whiskey with layers of flavour. A taste to return to, time and again.

What about taxes?
All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.
UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.
We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well.
For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.
