The 5 Best Irish Whiskies To Try This Christmas

The 5 Best Irish Whiskies To Try This Christmas

Irish whiskey is enjoying a remarkable revival, and we are fortunate to witness its return to global prominence. Distilleries now dot the entire island, giving us an unprecedented range of expressions for the festive season. A customer once told me that an evening glass of good Irish whiskey is a most civilised way to wrap up a day, a sentiment that has always seemed like good advice to me.

Our Irish Whiskey Sale reflects that same spirit, with options for people just discovering the different styles and special bottles that will impress a seasoned connoisseur. Here are five Irish Whiskies that will help you create a civilised moment of your own this Christmas.

Was €46 Now €39.99

A fruity, smoky and complex Irish Whiskey from a small Galway producer. Micil began whiskey production in 2020 and while their own whiskey matures, they have been releasing expressions that reflect the “Galway style” they aim to revive.
