About the Whiskeys

American Whiskey
American whiskey, including notable varieties from regions like Wyoming and Kentucky, is distinguished by its bold flavors and unique production methods. Many are crafted in small batches using locally sourced ingredients, with Kentucky Bourbon being a prime example. It must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, resulting in rich, sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. American whiskey is deeply rooted in cultural and historical traditions, with Bourbon holding a protected designation of origin that highlights its significance in the American whiskey landscape.

Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey is renowned for its smooth and light taste, achieved through triple distillation. This process, combined with the country’s long-standing whiskey-making traditions dating back to the 12th century, contributes to its distinctive character and makes it an integral part of Ireland’s cultural heritage.

Scotch Whisky
Scotch whisky, made primarily from malted barley and aged in oak barrels for at least three years, is celebrated for its complex and varied flavors. Single Malt Scotch, produced at a single distillery, showcases a range of profiles from smoky and peaty to light and fruity. Scotland’s whisky regions, such as Islay and Speyside, further contribute to this diversity, with Islay whiskies known for their bold, smoky characteristics and Speyside whiskies offering lighter, sweeter notes.
