Irish Blended Whiskey
Blended Irish whiskey's global success (especially Jameson) is the result of strategic marketing and consistency. The blend system allowed large-scale production after the Irish industry consolidated into essentially one major producer (Irish Distillers / Pernod Ricard) through the 20th century.
Flavor Profile
Smooth, approachable, light. The style most people think of when they hear 'Irish whiskey.' Jameson anchored by pot still character. Tullamore D.E.W. lighter and slightly sweeter. Powers Gold Label carries more pot still influence and is preferred by Irish bartenders.
