Irishman Founders Reserve Whiskey
This is one of our favourite Irish blends and for many of our staff it is a most reliable inexpensive whiskey. This was formerly called Irishman 70 and was so named because it contains a ratio of 70% malt whiskey to 30% pot still whiskey. It is a unique blend because it does not contain any inferior (and cheaper) grain whiskey. In actual fact it is better than many Irish single malts we have tried!
