This is Part Two of our look into Irish Whiskey, in part one we looked at the origins of whisk(e)y and the rocky history of the Irish version - you can check that out here if you haven't seen it already:

Behind the Bar is the most descriptive, educational, and by far the best cocktail teaching tool out there. Cara describes variations perfectly, as if she was standing across from us as our actual bartender. Love to experiment with cocktails also, maybe add in some variations of your own. So glad I found you guys!

Tullamore Dew is what got me into whiskey in the first place. It was spring 2010 i think, third year of high school. On a school trip to a sailing school in Sardinia, me and my friend discovered this little hole in the wall close by. Among the drinks there was Tullamore Dew, been one of my favorites ever since.

@TheFeralBachelor 3 года назад

Jameson's Black Barrel is by far my favorite. It's the bottle I always bring to parties. I bought the March Hare and it's a VERY earthy spirit. I have the Kinahans on my list for when I go shopping next. Thank you.

@romannod5191 3 года назад

I think something that was overlooked in both videos is that Irish whiskey does not have to be aged specially in oak casks, unlike in basically every else. Some of the results like the Teeling “Wonders of Wood” bottlings or the Method and Madness experiments are truly amazing whiskeys and it’s a great way to play a bit more with your spirit

@thewhiskeyshed.4105 3 года назад

Redbreast is tough to beat, Single Pot Still is my favorite style. Powers John's Lane 12 and The Spot whiskies are also exceptional Pot Still Whiskies!

One of my favourite videos so far. Once I saw the Connemara on the Thumbnail I was hooked. Love this whiskey. My first contact with peated whisky was Lagavulin 16 and I loved it. And during the time I was living in Ireland I found Connemara and the rest is history. One of my preferred Irish whiskeys. Thanks for the great video. Cheers!

@MSB-fj7cd 3 года назад

For the price, I really like the Bushmills Black Bush. It goes for about $30 here in the States. When I want to spend a little more, I go for the Teeling or the Redbreast, both gorgeous whiskies.

One interesting thing you touched on is that Irish Whiskey doesn't have to be aged in oak. That isn't the case in the US, Scotland, or Canada which have to use oak. There are good reasons why oak is the standard, but I am excited to see what Irish distillers discover with all the experiments that they are now running. I'm going to look for that Kinahans so thank you for making me aware of it.

As a Scotch fan, I'm rather taken with the taste of Writer's Tears -- Copper Pot ( a rather "Scotchy" dram, to be sure , and a fine one at that ), and quite enjoy an occasional splash of Kilbeggan... Both are fairly mild and very pleasant to sip neat, or with a wee drizzle of spring-water. Love your content, Lass. Stay safe. Hugs from Canada.

@SolCrown80 3 года назад

Thanks for the education! I never knew much about Irish whiskey or what makes it distinct (and I *still* don't know that about Canadian whiskey). I recently got a bottle of Irish whiskey for St. Patricks called The Sexton that is matured in sherry casks. It's a curiously inexpensive single malt. I definitely notice those green apple notes you mentioned on the nose, it was the first thing I thought of when I uncorked it. In the mouth it has a kind of honey quality to the malt that combines with the apple to make like a ripe stewed pear taste. Definitely on the sweet side, but it dries out just a little on the finish. Very easy to drink.

I make an old fashioned with it which is: 60ml Roe & Co 10ml Demerara 2:1 syrup 2 Dashes of Angostura bitters 1 Dash Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters I usually build it in the glass directly with a large cube of ice, zest an orange peel and it’s this winter’s favourite for me, got the idea of mixing Ango & Bitter Truth bitters from the Death & Co Old Fashioned! Also makes a great Gold Rush at a 2:1:1 ratio Roe & Co, Honey Syrup & Lemon, over ice with a twist of lemon! Definitely a whiskey worth playing around with!

Wow! Throwing down the Redbreast 15yr! Good for you! I’ve always considered the 12 to be the quintessential Irish pot still. Currently working through a bottle of Yellow Spot and a West Cork 8yr small batch. If you ever get the opportunity, try Dingle whiskey; very small distillery in, you guessed it, Dingle. They were the first new distillery to open in Ireland back in 2012. Unfortunately, due to their limited production, they’re the Pappy of Irish whiskey.

Hi, I’m Irish and into cocktail making. Have loved these last two videos btw ❤️ A lot of cocktails call for bourbon for its sweetness or rye for its spice. Can you recommend some Irish whiskeys that would be sweeter like a bourbon and spicier like a rye that I could substitute in these recipes and still be able to support my local Irish whiskeys? Of course I know I could use any whiskey and create a new taste with it but which ones would be good to use if I didn’t want to sway too far away from what the traditional cocktails would call for. Without just buying them all and trying them because that’s expensive 🤣 Thanks

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

Haha fair enough pal! As I mentioned here, Kilbeggan have a high rye content whiskey out that might be worth searching out for your spice factor, and the Teelings Single Grain is majority corn like bourbon so both good options 😊

@nathanclark3575 3 года назад

I highly recommend the Jameson Triple Triple. It's a duty free only. I tasted courtesy of a dear friend. I believe it was only like $40? It's finished in 3 different casks giving it a very fruity but not overly sweet body. It does a great job at stripping away much of the metallic vanilla flavor i generally get in Jameson. It may also be worth having a video exclusively on single pot still... mentioning the specific legal parameters for it. It has to be 30% or more of both malted and unmalted barley and can have 5% grain in the mash bill. Another great and quite unique blended irish is writers tears. its a mix of malt and pot only. it has no grain spirit. to my understanding, prewar days when irish whiskey was all the rage, that was the common style for blended, leaving 4 functional categories in ireland- blended, pot, grain, and malt. i'd love to hear more about rye and poitin as well.

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

Every time we do one of these you realise how much more there is to cover haha! We’ll get there one day 😊. Writers Tears is very tasty.
