Uisce Beatha Real Irish Whiskey

Uisce Beatha Real Irish Whiskey

In the middle ages, Irish monks affectionately began calling distilled alcohol uisce beatha, literally, the water of life. Interestingly, more than 1,000 years later, the word whiskey itself is now simply an anglicized version of the Irish phrase uisce beatha, as those words are commonly mispronounced as whiskey in the English language. Uisce Beatha Real Irish Whiskey, the brainchild of Patrn Tequila founder Jon Paul DeJoria, is a blend of single malt and grain whiskies, aged for a minimum of four years in ex-bourbon oak casks. As a result of this aging process, Uisce Beatha Real Irish Whiskey has an underlying nutty complexity, which leads to honey, baking spices and French toast on the nose. The body is filled with notes of clementines and graham crackers, and leads to a smooth, malty finish characterized by freshly cut barley. Uisce Beatha Real Irish Whiskey won the Gold Medal at the 2014 International Craft Spirits Competition in Los Angeles, California..
