The Irishman The Harvest

The first blend from Walsh and one of the best with an earthy combination of Single Malt and Single Pot Still Spirits.

Walsh Whiskey set out to rediscover real Irish-style Whiskey as it was made 200 years ago. When Walsh Whiskey first started in 1999, they contracted their distilling to Bushmills. But their success has allowed them to build out their own distillery in Carlow — in the heart of Ireland’s southern farm country — where they make eight versions of The Irishman Whiskeys, six Writer’s Tears blends, and two varieties of Irish Cream Liqueur.

The Irishman The Harvest is the first blend created by Bernard Walsh, and it is still one of their best and one of the most unique coming out of the Irish craft distilling market. It is a blend of 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still Spirits aged in ex-Bourbon casks. This twist on a classic adds a very nice layered complexity and a bit of grain spice that makes this dram a stand-out. It is also a multi-award-winner with Gold Medals dripping off the bottle like honey.

Smartass Corner:
“Single Malt” is a distillation of 100% malted barley from a single distillery, “Single Pot Still” also comes from a single distillery, but the mash consists of a combination of malted and un-malted barley.

*The Irishman has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.
