The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey is made from a vatting of aged The Irishman Single Malt and aged The Irishman Single Pot Still whiskies, each of which is crafted from Irish barley (the long summer days in Ireland, along with the mild and wet winters, are ideal for growing barley). After the barley has been malted, it is mashed and fermented before being distilled three times through copper pot stills and ultimately laid to rest in ex-bourbon American Oak casks. Each year, Bernard Walsh scours the distillery’s cellars to hand-select a number of exceptional casks which are then blended together to create The Irishman Cask Strength Irish Whiskey.

Distillery Information

Deep within the scenic Carlow countryside in Royal Oak, sits the 18th century home of the Walsh Whiskey Distillery. The family owned and operated company was founded by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, previous owners of a ski chalet in France, in search of the perfect Irish whiskey with which to spike their famous coffee. Eventually, their search led them to the founding of their whiskey brand Irishman in 1999.
