Irish whiskey is one of the world's great styles of whiskey. It's most often triple-distilled from unmalted barley that is typically blended with grain whiskey, though there are also single malts. Made entirely in Ireland, it's a favourite worldwide, especially in the USA and UK, due to its exceptional smoothness. Irish whiskey sales are growing, as are the brands available, so it's a perfect time to try a dram or mix up an Irish whiskey cocktail. The quickest way to tell the difference between Scottish and Irish is the spelling - Scottish Whisky and Irish Whiskey - there's an 'e' in whiskey when it's Irish!
