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.
This is probably the most popular Irish whiskey in Ireland. I have tried the rest, not just Irish but also Scotch, American and even Japanese, but I always come back to Paddy. I drink it with just a little water and never ice.
all Paddy needs is a drop of red lemonade and its perfect
Smoothe, and lovely. It is my go to Irish whiskey wither in the Ireland or here....... always.......... and I am 72 yrs of age. All good for me.
Best ever beats single malts
This is a brilliant budget whiskey (£15 in some shops!) than compares with others at more than twice the price.
