IRISH WHISKEY
Irish whiskey has a smoother finish, in contrast to the smoky, earthy overtones common to Scotch whisky, due in part to peating.
Irish whiskey was one of the earliest known distilled spirits in Europe, arising around the 12th century. It is believed that Irish monks brought the technique of distilling perfume back to Ireland from their travels to southern Europe around 1000 AD. The Irish then modified the technique to obtain a drinkable spirit.
