Ireland is a land of great whiskey, and some of the best Irish whiskeys are distilled on the Emerald Isle. In fact, Ireland has been distilling whiskey for over 500 years! It’s also one of the most popular liquors in Germany and throughout Europe as a whole. If you want to try some truly amazing Irish whiskeys while living in Germany, then this guide will help you find which ones are best suited for your tastes and budget.
Bushmills Irish Whiskey
Bushmills Irish Whiskey is a triple distilled, blended whiskey. It’s made from malted and unmalted barley that’s been aged in sherry casks for up to 12 years. This gives it a smooth taste with hints of vanilla and cocoa.
It’s best served neat or on the rocks with a splash of water (if you’re feeling adventurous).
Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey
Tullamore Dew is an Irish whiskey that’s been around since the late 19th century. It’s made by Cooley Distillery, which has been producing top-quality spirit for over 200 years.
The triple distilled Tullamore Dew is aged in ex-bourbon casks and has a high malt content (this means it was distilled using malted barley). The result is a smooth finish with notes of vanilla and honey on the nose, followed by hints of caramelized apples and cocoa powder on your palate.
Jameson Irish Whiskey
Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blend of whiskeys aged in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-oloroso sherry butts, triple distilled, and matured for at least 8 years. The distillery says it’s the best selling whiskey in the world, which might be true if you count all sales of all kinds of whiskey combined–but even so, it still sells plenty: more than 5 million cases annually since 2013 (and probably many more now).
Jameson was founded by John Jameson in 1790 in Midleton County Cork Ireland when he purchased an existing distillery from his father Richard who had been operating a successful business there since 1780. In 1855 John’s son Robert took over management of both businesses and expanded production significantly; by 1879 Robert had built up enough capital to buy out his partners’ shares and take full control over both companies’ operations under one roof at New Midleton Distillery Co Ltd which continues today as part of Pernod Ricard Group SA Europe’s largest producer/distributor globally with annual sales topping $9 billion USD annually.”
Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Connemara is a single malt Irish whiskey produced by Cooley Distillery in County Louth, Ireland. It’s aged in ex-Bourbon barrels, then finished in Oloroso Sherry casks for a hint of smoke and peat.
In case you didn’t know: Single malts are made from just one type of grain (usually barley), while blends contain multiple grains mixed together. When it comes to Irish whiskey, only those distilled at distilleries located on the island qualify as “Irish.”
Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey
Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey is a single pot still whiskey that’s been aged in ex-bourbon barrels. It’s bottled at 46% ABV and has been limited to only 1,000 bottles worldwide.
This whiskey is best consumed neat or on the rocks, but you can also mix it into cocktails if you like your drinks on the sweeter side.
