Ireland
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Ireland produces single pot still whiskey, single grain whiskey, and cream liqueur, with triple distillation and a tradition of maturation in used oak casks defining the national style. Single pot still whiskey, made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, originated in the bonded warehouses of Cork and remains the most distinctly Irish of all whiskey categories. Redbreast represents the style across multiple expressions, from the approachable 12 Year Old to the concentrated, uncut Cask Strength releases. Midleton's Very Rare and Barry Crockett Legacy bottlings draw from the same Cork distillery and sit among the most age-worthy expressions the country produces. Yellow Spot 12 Year Old from Spot Whiskey carries Malaga wine cask finishing, while Teeling's Single Grain demonstrates the lighter, column-distilled side of Irish production. Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur rounds out the range with fresh County Cork dairy cream.
