A triple distilled blended Irish Whiskey produced in Cork and made, unusually, with all three styles of Irish whiskey: single pot still, single malt and grain. First produced in 1779, it wasn't until 1913 that it changed it's name to Paddy after legendary salesman Paddy Flaherty. Before that it had the rather catchy name of "Cork Distilling Company Map of Ireland Old Irish Whiskey". Rolls right off the tongue that one.
The nose is oily and fresh with floral notes, cereal grains and plenty of fruit.
The palate is sweet and of medium-body with toffee and cereals, a rosewater note with a little butterscotch and vanilla.
The finish is spicy and dry with a little black pepper and oak.
best i ever tasted
This is the one, cheap and really lovely taste!!
I love Paddy's and my wife always asks for a hot whiskey w/ Paddy's when she isn't feeling her best. But it's not sold in the U.S. and only available outside the border. Why is that? Also, Is it owned by the maker of Jameson and/or Pernod???
I drink loads of lovely and many expensive whiskies, but if I had to choose one whiskey only, it would be this. I just love it with ice. I could drink it every day. I never get tired of it. I've been drinking it for 30 years. Other stronger tasting whiskies pall rapidly on the palate.
