🍀 SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT IRISH WHISKEY!🍀

🍀🥃Wh***ey was founded by Irish Monks, who had both the time, education, and safe locations to perfect distillation. (So they say: There’s no Irish wh***ey history set in stone.)

🍀🥃Irish wh***ey doesn’t toast it’s barley, making it smoother.
Irish wh***ey uses a method called pot still where heat is applied directly to the pot. It is distilled three times.

🍀🥃According to the Irish Wh***ey Act of 1980, Irish wh***ey must be aged and distilled in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.

🍀🥃Only four Irish Wh***ey distilleries still exist in Ireland today. They are Bushmills, New Midleton and Cooley. The fourth, Kilbeggan, opened in 2007, is just now beginning to release its Irish wh***ey to the public.

🍀🥃Two of the Irish wh***ey distilleries are run by a French company, Pernod Richard.

🍀🥃Cooley distillery is the only Irish wh***ey maker, er, Irish wh***ey distillery independently owned by an Irish man, John Teeling.

🍀🥃Irish wh***ey was one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe. It was very popular with the British, actually. Irish wh***ey might have only survived thanks to the high British demand.

🍀🥃A Blend means the Irish wh***ey comes from two or more distillates, er, separate batches of wh***ey. In Irish wh***ey talk, single malt, etc. isn’t defined as it is with Scotch wh***ey.

Irish wh***ey has been a part of Irish tradition and culture for centuries and in the 21st century, it's experiencing a rebirth and resurgence unlike any to date.
