This spirit aims to combine the best of Ireland and the U.S. taste buds.
The back story: The upcoming St. Patrick’s Day celebration is always a good reason to break out a bottle of Irish whiskey. But what if your taste leans more in the American direction, as in bourbon or rye? The Connacht Whiskey Company, a fairly new Irish producer of spirits, has an answer in the form of its Brothership whiskey. And yes, it is an Irish-American blend.
What we think about it: The idea behind the whiskey is certainly smart, especially given the sizable number of Americans who claim Irish ancestry. It delivers flavor-wise as well, with a degree of malty smoothness and the right notes of sweet corn and spice . How to enjoy it: You can toast St. Patrick’s Day by sipping this one neat or on the rocks. But the Connacht team says it can work in whiskey-based cocktails, such as a Manhattan or Whiskey Sour.
