FAQs
Yes. The majority of Irish whiskey sold globally is blended, typically combining single malt, single grain, and often single pot still components in varying proportions. Jameson, Bushmills Original, and Powers Gold Label are all blends. The blended category accounts for the bulk of Ireland's whiskey production volume. Single malt and single pot still expressions represent a growing but still minority share of the overall Irish whiskey market.
Blended Irish whiskey is a legally defined category under Irish Whiskey Technical File regulations, comprising a combination of at least two different Irish whiskey styles, typically single malt, single grain, and or single pot still, produced in Ireland and aged for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The blending of styles allows distillers to create consistent, accessible flavour profiles at scale.
