The Irishman Single Malt (in gift box)

Walsh Whiskey was founded in 1999 by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, who now own 80% of the shares. Rosemary was inspired to create the company during a trip with her husband to France. They were staying at a ski resort and hosted many guests in their chalet. Guests were treated to Irish coffee (a cocktail made of hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar) after each meal. Preparing 20-30 servings of the favorite drink was enjoyable but also exhausting for the hospitable hostess. The Walshes decided there had to be a better solution to enjoy a great drink without excessive labor and inefficient time expenditure. Thus, Hot Irishman Limited was born. Initially, the company intended to produce only Irish Cream, and in 2001, "Irishman" Irish Cream was released. Seeking to develop the "Irishman" brand, a long-term contract was signed in 2006 with Irish distilleries for the supply of raw materials for whiskey production. Thus, in 2007, "Irishman" 70 Superior was born, followed by other whiskeys marking the triumphant rise of the "Irishman" brand. Today, the brand is popular in over 36 countries across 4 continents. A modern whiskey and spirits distillery operates in Waterford. The company's headquarters is located in an old family mansion in the rural area of Carlow, in the heart of Irish barley fields.
