Three outstanding Irish whiskeys — spanning innovation, heritage, and modern craft.

This month’s selection brings together three unique styles: an award-winning single grain, a bold and characterful pot still, and an exciting new release from one of Ireland’s most historic distilleries.
It’s a journey through sweetness, spice, depth — and the evolution of Irish whiskey itself.
