My journey into Irish whiskey began with a transformative visit to Ireland in 2022, sparking what has become an annual "30 Days of Irish Whiskey" tradition. Now in its third year, this exploration received unprecedented support from brands like Jameson, Dingle, Lost Irish, and Two Stacks. Through tastings and interviews with industry experts, I've witnessed firsthand how Irish whiskey balances tradition with bold innovation. From Writers' Tears experimenting with tequila casks to the revival of traditional bonding practices by companies like Two Stacks, the future looks exceptionally bright. New cask finishes, single cask releases, and expanding global distribution are revolutionizing the category while maintaining its distinctive character. As new distilleries join established names and experimental expressions reach maturity, Irish whiskey's renaissance is just beginning to reveal its full potential.
