1. Irish whiskey

   Irish whiskey (Irish: Fuisce or uisce beatha) is whiskey made on the island of Ireland. The word "whiskey" is an Anglicisation of the first word in the Gaelic phrase, uisce beatha, meaning "water of life" (modern Irish: uisce beatha, Scottish: uisge beatha and Manx: ushtey bea). The phrase was a translation of the Latin term aqua vitae, which was commonly used to describe distilled spirits during the Middle Ages. Peat is rarely used in the malting process, so that Irish whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones common to some Scotches. There are notable exceptions to these rules in both countries; an example is Connemara peated Irish malt (double distilled) whiskey from the Cooley Distillery in Riverstown, Cooley, County Louth. Irish whiskey was once the most popular spirit in the world, though a long period of decline from the late 19th century onwards greatly damaged the industry. So much so that although Ireland boasted over 30 distilleries in the 1890s, a century later, this number had fallen to just three. Irish whiskey has seen a resurgence in popularity since the late twentieth century, and has been the fastest growing spirit in the world every year since 1990. With exports growing by over 15% per annum, existing distilleries have been expanded and a number of new distilleries constructed. As of August 2017, Ireland has eighteen distilleries in operation, with at least a further sixteen in the planning stages. Only six of these have been operating long enough to have products sufficiently aged for sale, and only one of these was operating prior to 1975.

1. irish whiskey

   Irish whiskey is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made in Ireland. The process involves fermenting a mash of malted cereals, primarily barley, and aging the liquid for at least three years in wooden casks. Irish whiskey is known for its smooth flavor, typically less smoky and peaty compared to Scotch whisky, due to different distilling methods. Its taste can vary from light and delicate to full-bodied and spicy, depending on its type and age. There are several styles of Irish whiskey, including single malt, single pot still, single grain, and blended whiskey.

1. Irish whiskey

   Irish whiskey is whiskey made in Ireland. Key regulations defining Irish whiskey and its production are established by the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980, and are relatively simple. They can be summarised as follows: ⁕Irish whiskey must be distilled and aged in the island of Ireland ⁕The contained spirits must be distilled to an alcohol by volume level of less than 94.8% from a yeast-fermented mash of cereal grains in such a way that the distillate has an aroma and flavour derived from the materials used ⁕The product must be aged for at least three years in wooden casks ⁕If the spirits comprise a blend of two or more such distillates, the product is referred to as a "blended" Irish whiskey There are several types of whiskey common to Ireland, including those referred to as single pot still, single malt, single grain, and blended Irish whiskey. But in contrast to the Scotch Whisky Regulations of 2009, the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980 does not actually contain a definition of the terms "single malt Irish whiskey" or "single grain Irish whiskey" or specific rules governing their production, so the exact definitions of these terms may not be clearly established. The meaning of such terms can vary substantially from producer to producer. For example, some Scottish whisky that could have been considered "single malt" before 2009 was distilled using continuous stills, and there is an American whiskey marketed as a "Single Malt" that is made from rye grain. Both of these practices would violate the 2009 Scotch Whisky Regulations definition of "Single Malt Scotch Whisky" but may not be prohibited for "Single Malt Irish Whiskey".
