Joe Canal's Presents Paddy Irish Whiskey!

In 1920s and 1930s Ireland, whiskey was sold in casks from the distillery to wholesalers, who would in turn sell it on to publicans. Cork Distilleries Company was very proud of the strong reputation which its whiskey had earned and wanted to prevent any fluctuation in whiskey quality due to bonder underhandedly diluting the casks. Thus the company was one of the first to bottle their whiskey, which became known as Paddy.

Paddy Whiskey is distilled three times from the finest quality barley and water. This ensures the whiskey is particularly light, well balanced and pure. Its relatively low pot-still content and uniquely high proportion of malt whiskey ensures Paddy is "One of the softest of all Ireland's whiskeys" - Jim Murray, International Whiskey Connoisseur.

During maturation in oak casks stored in dark aromatic warehouses for up to seven years, Paddy whiskey mellows and takes on its distinctive rich, golden color. Two percent of Paddy Whiskey is lost to the atmosphere during maturation. This evaporated whiskey has come to be called "The Angel's Share."

The nose is fresh, lively, and aromatic, showing a complex interplay of nutty maltiness, woodland fragrances, and spice with hints of honey and vanilla. The palate is mild and soft with a distinctive mellow maltiness, a touch of sweet oil spiciness, and again those background notes of honey, vanilla, toasted wood. Expect a finish with a sweetness gently fading and mild woody notes lingering pleasingly.
