What makes Irish whiskey different to Scotch whisky?
Most Irish is distilled three times which should make it a
smoother drink, however some Scotch is also triple distilled.
Some Irish is only distilled twice, like Scotch and there
is also peated Irish whiskey.
The only unique Irish whiskey is traditional potstill whiskey.
All malt whisky is distilled in a potstill - a large copper
kettle. What makes traditional Irish potstill different is
that instead of using just malted barley, a mixture of malted
and un-malted barley is used. Sometimes other grains, such
as oats are also included.
