The story of Paddy Old Irish Whisky

Paddy Old Irish Whiskey is named after a salesman. The Cork Distilleries Company was formed in 1867 by joining Cork city distilleries, and the Midleton distillery came in a year later. In 1882 the company hired Paddy Flaherty, who covered Ireland by train and jaunting car and was known for standing a round in the bars he called at. Publicans began to ask for Paddy Flaherty's whiskey, and by the early 1910s his name was on the label.

The whiskey is still made at Midleton in County Cork. The Cork company joined Jameson and Powers to form Irish Distillers in 1966, which Pernod Ricard took over in 1988. Sazerac bought the Paddy brand in 2016, and the whiskey is still distilled at Midleton under contract. It is triple distilled, blended from pot still, malt and grain whiskeys, matured in oak and bottled at 40 per cent.

The result is soft and malty, with vanilla and honey and a gentle, warming finish. That softness makes it easy to mix. Pour it over ice with ginger ale and a wedge of lemon, or stir it into an Irish coffee.
