The nose is fresh and lively, aromatic - a complex interplay of nutty maltiness, woodland fragrances and spice, with hints of honey and vanilla. Whilst the taste is mild, soft, a distinctive mellow maltiness, a touch of sweet oil, spiciness - and again those background notes of honey, vanilla, toasted wood. Finishes with a sweetness gently fading, mellow maltiness and mild woody notes lingering pleasingly.

First produced in 1887. The most well-known of all the Irish whiskeys, named after a gregarious sales representative for Cork Distilleries - Paddy Flaherty. • Distilled three times from the finest quality barley and water and matured in casks for up to 7 years. It has a high malt content in its blend. It is ‘One of the softest of all Ireland's whiskeys' Jim Murray, International Whiskey Connoisseur. • Cork Distilleries was one of the first to bottle their whiskey, rather than sell by the cask, in order to prevent underhanded dilution of the product.
