Notes - The origin of the brand name has a genuine Irish history. In the region of Munster, Cork Distilleries had a sales rep of some repute, Paddy Flaherty. As a true ambassador of the company, Paddy ensured that anyone who would cross his path would not escape without having savoured a glass of his whiskey. Publicans when low on stock would enquire at the Distillery for "Paddy Flaherty's whiskey" and so it was not long until Cork Distilleries paid tribute to this genuine character by naming the whiskey "Paddy".
