Irish whiskeys

Emerald Isle liquors

Irish whiskeys is the plural of Irish whiskey, a spirit distilled in Ireland from malted and unmalted barley.

Irish whiskey is typically triple-distilled and aged in wooden casks, producing a smoother, lighter taste than Scotch.

The spelling with an "e" distinguishes Irish and American whiskeys from Scottish and Canadian whiskies: The bar stocked several Irish whiskeys.
