Description

•A full history of the production and appreciation of Irish pot still whiskey
•Revised to include listings of a lot of new and mentionable distillers “Quickly being recognised as probably the most comprehensive guide to Irish whiskey.” – Gary Quinn, The Irish Times

“A will have to read book for any fan of Irish whiskey. At a time when the category is making the mightiest of comebacks Fionnán O’Connor has written a gem of a book, digging deep in to the heart of his country’s whiskey history and telling its story with style and authority. Excellent.” Dominic Roskrow, Founding Director, The Craft Distillers Alliance

Irish single pot still whiskey has a romantic mystique for lots of whiskey critics on account of its tragic history as the lost sister of single malt scotch. Ireland’s history and politics resulted within the near-annihilation of the national drink and there is an almost eerie beauty to the silent distilleries that still dot the Irish countryside. These distilleries inform the aesthetic of the title and, indeed, there’s visual poetry within the barrels, pot stills and photogenic amber spirits that convey the Irish whiskey world.

Although Irish whiskey is currently the fastest-growing global spirits category and Irish pure pot still has long been a favorite drink among whiskey critics and connoisseurs, the existing literature continues to be surprisingly sparse. This book illustrates the production, history, and appreciation of Irish pot still whiskey and will introduce casual drinkers to the richness of these whiskeys in addition to being a collector’s item for established whiskey connoisseurs.

Contents: Appreciation; Production; The Pot Still Profiles; History: The Story of a Spirit; A Guide to the Revival.
