7 Best Irish Whiskeys for St. Patrick’s Day 2023

Considered less intimidating than Scotch, typically lighter than bourbon, and with a long and notable history, Irish whiskey is not only an elegant way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day (either neat or or mixed into your green cocktails), but it’s also well worth buying and drinking the rest of the year, especially if you’re already a whiskey drinker! The word “whiskey” comes from the Gaelic word uisge, which means water, and it’s been made there for hundreds of years. If you’re wondering where to even start, fear not: Here is a short list of bottles we truly love. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
