ABOUT THE BRAND

The Irishman is a premium Irish whiskey brand established in 2006 by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, founders of Walsh Whiskey in County Carlow.

With a particular emphasis on single malt whiskey, The Irishman combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach to production. Today, the brand is internationally recognised and remains an important part of Ireland's whiskey revival, alongside its sister brand, Writers' Tears.
