That is mindboggling! But despite this, however, there are a lot of falsehoods that are bandied about in some quarters about Irish whiskey. The stories — or shall we say myths — are discussed by drinkers as well as bartenders, which is quite worrisome.
So, here are some of the biggest myths which were dispelled by an Irishman who was the International Bartender of the Year in at the Tales of the Cocktail conference. This myth is the most popular of them all. This myth was brought into existence due to the fact that Jameson Irish whiskey is produced in the Catholic-dominated Republic of Ireland while Bushmills Irish whiskey is produced in Protestant-dominated Northern Ireland.
But there is no truth to this; everything is a matter of geography. Moreover, since there are only a few distilleries in Ireland, these whiskey giants trade casks.

Additionally, there are almost distilleries in Scotland compared to the handful that thrives in the Republic of Ireland. But the terrain is changing as many new brands are popping up, launching and building their own distilleries.
Indeed, triple distillation is the distinguishing element of the Irish style of whiskey production. However, it is not all Irish whiskey that undergoes triple distillation. During that period, the United States was flooded with Irish whiskey produced from over Irish distilleries on the Emerald Isle. At its peak, Irish whiskey was the biggest in America. But the industry became decimated, no thanks to trade wars with Britain as well as Prohibition in the United States, and two World Wars.
But things have changed exceptionally over the last twenty years. Irish whiskey is back and better! This is far from the truth; not even before Beam Global purchased Cooley, which is the home of Connemara and Tyrconnel.
This idea was birthed as a result of the way Americans were introduced to the alcoholic beverage, i. Many American college students usually drink a shot of Jameson whiskey with cheap longneck beer. But then, excellent sipping whiskeys — such as Connemara and Redbreast — have been around for a pretty long time.

When making cocktails, I tend to lean toward a fresh, acidic-style cocktail with herbs. I find that pairs really nicely with the smooth flavors of Green Spot.
More : Love Bourbon? The liquid itself is a pleasing full gold colour. It has a refined nose, with a light-bodied sweetness, tart apple notes and swathes of banana and smooth vanilla.
While this is a light whiskey, there is a fair amount going on. So too, with the palate, as the vanilla comes in on a smooth, clean malt arrival, the fruity apple blends with juicier mango and apricot and finishes with a little touch of sherry.
The finish is quick, with a little neutral wood and some pepper. As mentioned on the nose, this is a light, subtle whiskey. While its sibling, Black Bush, leans into the sherry flavours more, this is a great advert for an all-malt Irish whiskey.
