Irishman Whiskey

The Irishman insists on doing things the old-fashioned Irish way, with the traditional Pot Still style, where both malted and unmalted barley are allowed to play together. The result is soft with a certain power in the finish, a whiskey that's both innovative and deeply traditional at once.

  • The Irishman 17 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey bottle
    Item no.: 22227865363-267-3

    Nearly two decades in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt give this whiskey a depth that takes patience to create and time to enjoy.

    Expert Review

    The Irishman 17 Year Old is a Single Malt Irish Whiskey matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, bottled at 54%.

    The whiskey is a small batch release from The Irishman brand, with the entire maturation period of nearly 17 years spent in a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt. The long, consistent cask influence gives the whiskey a concentrated sherry character with depth and complexity that sets it apart from multi-cask releases. It is non-chill filtered, preserving as many flavour compounds as possible and a full-bodied texture.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Intense and spiced, with sweetness and depth from the sherry cask.

    Palate

    Rich and complex, with stewed raisins, fruitcake, dark chocolate and nuts.

    Finish

    Long and warm, with a balance of sweetness and subtle dryness.

About Irishman Whiskey

The Irishman is an Irish whiskey brand built on the traditional Pot Still style, where a mash of malted and unmalted barley is distilled together, a method unique to Ireland and markedly different from the lighter, triple-distilled Irish whiskeys most people know. The brand combines this classic approach with modern finishing experiments, giving a soft but characterful taste with a pleasant power in the finish. Collectors regard The Irishman as part of the modern revival of Irish Pot Still whiskey, while newcomers meet an accessible yet authentic taste of Irish whiskey tradition.

History & Background

The Irishman was created during a period when Irish whiskey as a whole was undergoing a slow revival after decades of decline in the 20th century, when only a handful of distilleries had survived across the whole of Ireland. The brand deliberately chose to base itself on the Pot Still style, the classic Irish method that had nearly disappeared along with the rest of the industry, as a way of reviving a tradition that was otherwise being lost. This commitment to authenticity over mass production has since made The Irishman a respected name among the brands that have helped rebuild Irish whiskey's international reputation.

History & Background

The brand was founded by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, both with backgrounds in the Irish whiskey industry, with an ambition to revive the traditional single pot still style, which had almost died out in the 20th century.

Production & Style

The whiskey is distilled from a mix of malted and unmalted barley, a method historically unique to Ireland, giving it a distinct, spicy, and oily texture.

Signature Style

Spicy, Oily, Smooth
The flavor offers a spicy, lightly oily character with a smooth, approachable finish.
