It is thought that distillation technology reached medieval Europe around the 12th century, with Ireland & Germany being the first countries where distilled spirits became widely available to the populace.  However, some sources claim that Irish monks were distilling spirits in the 6th century.

This heritage has helped Irish Whiskey become some of the most popular available to buy these days and the collection of recogniseable brands amongst the public is now immense.

Although originally titled Irish Whisky, the ‘e’ was added in the 19th century to distinguish it from Scotch whisky and there are some excellent special offers and prices available to the thrifty whisky buyer.
