This new brand brings together two of Ireland's most recognised exports – whiskey and stout. Black Irish contains a triple-distilled 3-year-old blended Irish whiskey matured in deep-charred American ex-bourbon casks. Made dark with the blend of a strong, barrel-aged stout, this spirit is filled with rich coffee and chocolate malt aromas as well as light, bitter notes. It's therefore perfect for the dad who likes to Irish up his coffee (or Coke!).

Limited-Edition BOSS Bottled United Eau de Parfum
A limited-edition, BOSS Bottled United Eau de Parfum brings together masculine freshness and urban warmth with notes of citrus, mint and warm woods.

A warm base of Vetiver, Patchouli and Cashmeran grounds the scent with a woody elegance.
Refreshed with a new outer pack in matte black with silver embossing, the fragrance is housed in the iconic BOSS Bottled flacon with a glossy metallic finish, referencing both sporting trophies and the celebrations when they are handed over.
