About Irish Whiskey
Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.
Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.
Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.
Honey sweetness greets the nose, followed by vanilla, and crisp apple aromas. Dried fruit, brown sugar, toasted nuts, melon, fudge, and herbal undertones are on the palate that leads to a long finish with caramel, anise, and lingering fruity sweetness.
