Irish Whiskey

Irish whiskey is a distilled spirit made primarily from malted and unmalted barley and aged in oak casks for at least three years. The spirit is typically distilled three times, which gives it its distinctive smooth, light, and clean flavor profile compared to other whiskies, such as Scotch or Bourbon.

To be legally recognized as Irish whiskey, the spirit must be distilled and aged in Ireland, and it must meet specific regulatory standards, including the minimum aging requirement of three years. It can be made using different grains, such as barley, corn, and wheat, and can be distilled in various methods, giving rise to different types of Irish whiskey.
