Why is this whiskey named after Michael Collins?
Michael Collins is a hero in Irish history. Affectionately known as “The Big Fellow,”
he was the spearhead of Ireland's struggle for independence and signed the Anglo-Irish
Treaty of 1921, which made Ireland an independent country for the first time in
over 700 years. Michael Collins was a visionary who realized that Ireland was poised
for greatness. He understood the importance of retaining culture and heritage but
knew that as an independent country, Ireland could flourish. Almost a century after
his death, Ireland has become the prosperous, economically successful country that
Michael Collins envisaged. As a tribute to him and his efforts, Michael Collins
Irish Whiskeys celebrate a new age in Ireland and in Irish Whiskey - they are brands
with contemporary values, a mix of innovation and time-honored tradition.
