At The Bar

What Is The Best Irish Whiskey?

What constitutes the finest Irish whiskey is ultimately a matter of personal taste. However, there are specific criteria that can assist in identifying exceptional whiskey. Smoothness, intricate flavours, and a rich amber hue are hallmarks of the best Irish whiskeys. They typically offer enticing notes of toasted wood, sweet caramel, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. A superior whiskey should have a lengthy, velvety, and sweet finish, often featuring a subtle hint of smokiness.
