It’s Friday evening and the mates are coming over for that weekend wind-down. You\u2019ve always brought out the Scotch, but lately you\u2019ve been looking to broaden your whisky horizons. Well, now\u2019s a good time, as any, to start exploring Irish Whisky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what goes into an Irish that makes it stand out from Scotch? Simply put, they are both made from the same stuff but in slightly different ways. Scotches are distilled per batch while Irish whiskey is a continuous distillation process. Scotch distilleries use large onion-shaped pot-stills while Irish whiskies use thin chimney-shaped pot-stills and because their distillation occurs quicker, they\u2019re typically distilled three times over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of this ensures a consistently smooth and refined whiskey, light and pleasing on the palate with caramel and vanilla notes and no lingering aftertaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
