Guide To Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey is distinctive from its Scottish cousin and has been made in Ireland for hundreds of years. There are several types of whiskey common to Ireland: Single Malt, Single Grain, Pure Pot Still and Blended Whiskey. The word whiskey is an Anglicisation of the ancient Gaelic term "uisce beatha" which translates as "water of life". It isnt just the spelling that gives Irish Whiskey its distinction it has a very different flavour and the brewing process does differ.
Although it is similar to Scotch whisky in that it was distilled primarily from barley, traditional Irish whiskey is distilled from a mash of mixed malted and unmalted grains (referred to as "pure pot-still" whiskey) whereas Scotch is either distilled exclusively from malted grain or from unmalted grain. That brewed from unmalted grain is generally then mixed with malt whisky to create blended whisky. Most Irish whiskey is blended from a mixture of pot still whiskey and cheaper grain whiskey.
Irish Whiskey makes a wonderful gift for a special occasion or as an exclusive business gift and continues to grow in popularity amongst whisky drinkers all over the world.

The more common Irish Whiskeys such as Jamesons, Paddys, Bushmills Original and Millars Special Reserve are readily available from most good spirit retailers, but some of the rarer varieties can be difficult to locate outside their native Ireland. However the Internet has given Irish Whiskey lovers access to some of the more exotic blends and pure pot still whiskeys, including limited editions such as Kilbeggan 15 Year Old, which was launched to mark the restart of distilling at the Kilbeggan distillery and was recently voted Best Blended Irish Whiskey at the World Whisky Awards.
