From the invention of Guinness to teaching distillation to the Scots, we’ve all got plenty to thank the Irish for. St. Patrick’s Day is the most celebrated national holiday in the world with good reason - whether you’re one of many millions around the world who claim Irish ancestry or you just had a soft spot for Andrea Corr or Jamie Dornan, the annual knees-up in the middle of March is a time of righteous celebration for all things Gaelic.

Naturally, however tenuous your links to the Emerald Isle, the best way to mark St. Patrick’s Day 2024 is with a tot of Irish whiskey. Nowadays, not all Irish whiskey is triple-distilled, while peated Irish whiskeys are increasingly common, so there’s an Irish whiskey for everyone. Sláinte!
