O'Driscolls Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish whiskey crafted by the descendants of the O'Driscoll Clan, a renowned seafaring family from Baltimore, West Cork, Ireland. The whiskey is made from a blend of golden grain and malted barley, triple distilled, and matured in bourbon casks for a minimum of three years. This maturation process imparts a signature smoothness and enhances the sweet vanilla profile of the whiskey. The family crest, featuring an ancient galley with black furled sails, reflects their buccaneering heritage.
