Wine information:
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".
Paddy Whiskey is distilled three times from the finest quality barley and water. This ensures a whiskey, which is particularly light, well balanced and pure. Its relatively low pot-still content and uniquely high proportion of malt whiskey, ensures Paddy is 'One of the softest of all Ireland's whiskeys' (

Tasting Notes:
It is fresh and lively, aromatic - a complex interplay of nutty maltiness, woodland fragrances and spice, with hints of honey and vanilla. The Palate has , a distinctive mellow maltiness, a touch of sweet oil, spiciness - and again those background notes of honey, vanilla, toasted wood. The finish has a sweetness gently fading, mellow maltiness and mild woody notes lingering pleasingly.
