Favorite 15 Whiskey Countdown- 15th Anniversary Celebration
Posted by Irish Whiskey USA on
Irish Whiskey Society America formed in October 2010 in a now defunct pub in Boston. In October 2025, the IWSA celebrates 15 years as the premier Irish Whiskey club in the USA. As part of our 15th Anniversary Celebration, the IWSA compiled the 15 Favorite Irish Whiskeys from the membership. We count them down in a lead up to our Virtual Celebration Event:
Maybe the best value Irish Whiskey blend with high proportion of malt and sherry. This Bushmills should be part of everyone's home bar.
Walsh Whiskey's 2009 homage to Irish writers was an early stand out from the crowd with its blend of only Pot Still and Malt aged in bourbon barrels
This 2016 release was the first of the Iberian Series and non-age statement single pot still range from Redbreast. Extra finishing in Oloroso Sherry.
Launched in 2018, a modern non-age statement expression of the classic Powers single pot still with robust spice and mouth covering barley.
Part of the Iberian series of non-age statement Redbreast editions. Released in 2021, this single pot still is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry hogsheads.
Relaunched in 2020 as the youngest age statement in Midleton's Spot range of single pot still whiskeys but highest abv with its cask strength bottling.
Groundbreaking re-release in 2012 as the first new addition to the Spot range with its longer age statement and use of Malaga wine casks.
The OG cult favorite single pot still with tantalizing apple traits arrived in the USA in 2014, helping to further expand its fanbase.
Released in 2011 to honor Midleton's Master Distiller, this premium single pot still of older whiskeys aged in bourbon & virgin oak casks is delicate & nuanced
The first new addition to the Redbreast permanent range arrived in 2010 to much fanfare with a higher abv and complex profile vs. its 12yr sibling.
COUNTDOWN CONTINUES IN OCTOBER WITH #5 - #1
