Blended to perfection with triple distilled pot still, malt and grain whiskeys and matured for many years in oak casks, Paddy is a soft and light Irish whiskey with a sweet, malty finish. With a rich heritage dating back to 1779, Paddy® owes its name to the legendary distillery salesman, Paddy Flaherty. Famed throughout his native county Cork for buying rounds of his favourite tipple, he became so synonymous with the whiskey he sold, that in 1913 the distillery owners paid him the ultimate tribute by renaming the whiskey 'Paddy' in his honour.
