If you have visited Ireland, you may have sampled a whiskey or two on your travels. Often referred to as Uisce Beatha, which means water of life, Irish Whiskey holds a special place in the hearts of whiskey enthusiasts worldwide.

What sets Irish whiskey apart is its unique production process and the distinct characteristics it imparts. Made from a combination of malted and unmalted barley, Irish whiskey is triple-distilled, resulting in a smoother and more refined spirit.

What’s your go to Whiskey? 🥃
