Irish Whisky Recipes

In common terminology, one can describe Irish whisky as a whiskey made in Ireland. Irish whisky is one of the various types of whiskies produced in the world. Though almost all the whiskies are produced in a manner that is broadly similar, there are subtle differences in the final product, mainly in their taste and aroma. The reason why Irish whisky is different from other types of whiskies is that it is produced with different proportions of raw and malted barley, which is dried in a distinct way. The whisky contains mixed grains from a column still. This grain whiskey is then mixed with the malt whiskey to create the blended whiskey form.

 

In the present times, most of the Irish whisky found is a blend of malted and un-malted barley. It is the un-malted barley that gives the characteristic sweetness to the whisky. At the time of malting Irish whisky, peat is not used, so that the whisky retains a smoother finish as compared to the smoky, earthly tones of Scotch. Another point of difference between the making of an Irish whiskey and Scotch is that while the former is distilled three times, the latter is distilled only two times. Coming to the popular uses, Irish whisky is used to make a number of cocktails. In the following lines, we have listed some of the exotic Irish whisky cocktails, along with their recipe.
