Waterford Micro Cuvée – Der Wanderer 3 yo (50%, OB 2022, 1200 btl.)
Category Archive: * Ireland
Irish whiskey is made in Ireland (doh) and it was one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe, arising around the 12th century.
Irish whiskey has different categories, which are not necessarily the same as in Scotland. Pot still distillation is not as omnipresent in Irish whiskeys and can be done by using malted barley (like in Scotland – single malt Irish) or a mixture of malted and unmalted barley (single pot still Irish, or pure pot still). Most Irish pot still whiskey is distilled three times, whereas most Scotch whisky is usually distilled twice.
