Master of Malt
Irish Whiskey

Irish whiskeys are smooth and fruity, the vast majority are triple distilled and they are often easy-drinking. The Irish are widely credited as being the first to distil whiskey, though this is strictly contested by the Scots. The Bushmills distillery, for example, is the world’s oldest licensed distillery, founded in 1608. The Irish are unique in their pure pot still whiskey.

What is a Bog?


Ask anyone in Ireland and they would be able to give you some sort of answer. They would also probably be able to name most of the bogs in their locality.

However, their definition would certainly not include lakes, marshes, reed swamps, fens, callows and the like. The peat bogs of Ireland stretch from the Lakes of Killarney, clear up to Tullamore and beyond.

Turf or Peat?

Peat The scientific definition of peat is partially decayed organic matter mainly of plant origin. In everyday language, peat - or turf as it is called in Ireland, is made up of the partly rotted remains of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and even tiny pollen grains and spores. Peat.

Turf It may be that there is some curative property in the peat. Stanislauf Topla, who first classified the peat-forming plant communities of the European peat lands, is convinced that peat contains bio-stimulators and even holds out a cure for cancer. In these enlightened days when even the multi-national drug companies are paying more than lip service to the claims of ethno-medicine, it would be a foolish shareholder who would write it all off as mere mumbo-jumbo.
