Perhaps your #StayHome experience occasionally involves a drop of Irish whiskey to warm the heart and lift the spirits.
Whether you prefer a single pot still, single malt, single grain or blended variety, you will know that Irish whiskeys have a unique flavour – smooth, light and sometimes with a hint of sweetness.
And as Irish whiskey has undergone a huge renaissance over the last decade, there are an increasing number of excellent brands to choose from. New arrivals from distilleries like Slane, Dingle, Walsh and Echlinville now stand beside centuries-old favourites like Bushmills, Jameson, Teeling and Tullamore D.E.W.
Irish whiskey holds a central place in the hearts of the people and the character of the island of Ireland. IrishWhiskey360° will give you a feel for the importance of the master distillers, who combine quality Irish ingredients and a variety of cask finishing to create new and exciting flavours.
Last year 17 distilleries on the island of Ireland welcomed over one million visitors for tours that give a behind-the-scenes insight into their products. While visits are not currently possible, you can still discover the stories of Ireland’s whiskies on websites and through virtual tours.
