Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a single malt Irish whiskey made from malted barley, and it wears its story proudly: the brand is a tribute to the storied 'Irish Brigade' regiment, one of the oldest and most honored military units in United States history. In the glass it leans sweet and approachable, with toffee and vanilla on the nose, ripe stone fruit and a touch of chocolate on a smooth, creamy palate, and a long finish of honey and gentle cinnamon spice. That balance makes it an easy first single malt for an American whiskey drinker curious about Ireland, and a versatile bottle for anyone who likes to pour it neat one night and stir an Old Fashioned the next. We carry it because the liquid holds up on its own and because the story behind it is real: a portion of each sale supports the 69th Infantry Regiment Historical Trust. For military families, veterans, and anyone of Irish heritage, it is a bottle with meaning built in.
Pairs well with
- Rich beef stew — The creamy toffee and vanilla sweetness stands up to a hearty, savory stew while the cinnamon finish echoes its warmth.
- Warm apple pie — Baked fruit and spice line up naturally with the whiskey's stone fruit notes and gentle cinnamon finish.
- A toast honoring veterans — A neat pour with its long, honeyed finish suits a slow, reflective toast to the regiment's legacy.
