Scotland may be the country best known for producing outstanding whiskies, but it’s not the only place you can turn to for a great dram. More and more distilleries are popping up across Ireland, making Irish whiskey one of the fastest growing spirits categories in the world.
The category offers a broad range of styles and production methods, including double and triple distillation, peated and single malts, and even a unique single pot still whiskey.
Our selection here – each awarded 95 points and above by the experts at our sister company IWSC – encompasses both single malts and blends, single pot still whiskey and even a 16-year-old single malt matured in Oloroso sherry and Moscatel wine casks, resulting in a singular sweet flavour profile of honeysuckle, Champagne and jasmine.
