Paddy

Paddy Whiskey began its journey as “Cork Distilleries Company Old Irish Whiskey” back in 1779, but it was not until 1913 that it got its name from merchant Paddy O’Flaherty, who became popular by buying a dram of whiskey for his host on every trip – to keep it on the menu.

It is a blended combination of single pot still, single malt, and grain whiskies, which is unusual within the Irish tradition.

Distillation occurs three times in the Irish style (triple distilled) in Cork, and then the whiskey ages for up to seven years in oak barrels, in a quiet and aromatic warehouse. The result is a balanced, smooth profile with a typical sweet and spicy note.

Paddy is an affordable and very popular blend - it is among the best-selling Irish whiskeys in the world. The typical profile includes nutty sweetness with subtle notes of honey, vanilla, caramel, and floral hints, with a warm, sweet, smooth finish.

It is great neat, on the rocks, but also delights in mixed drinks.
