The Irish difference
Ireland's signature is single pot still — malted and unmalted barley together, usually triple-distilled — a style that exists nowhere else: creamy texture, orchard fruit, baking spice. Most Irish whiskey is unpeated and famously smooth, which made Jameson the gateway whiskey for half the world.
The comeback numbers: from four distilleries in 2010 to more than forty today — the fastest revival in whisky history.
