Irish Whiskey

Japanese: アイリッシュウィスキー
Irish Whiskey
Whiskey produced in Ireland. It is said to be the prototype of whiskey, and was already being produced in the 12th century. In the 16th century, it was so prosperous that more than 1,000 distilleries were established, but it declined due to the pressure of liquor taxes and the rise of Scotch, and now it accounts for less than 2% of all whiskey. However, it remains popular due to its good quality. Unsprouted barley is saccharified with malt, fermented, distilled three times, and aged in barrels. It is characterized by the lack of smoky aroma because peat is not used to dry the malt. Currently, products blended with grain whiskey are also available. Irish, like American, are spelled whiskey, not whiskey.

Japanese:
アイルランドで生産されるウィスキー。ウィスキーの原型であるとされ,12世紀にはすでにつくられていた。16世紀には1000以上の蒸留所ができるほど盛んであったが,酒税の重圧やスコッチの台頭などで衰微して,現在では全ウィスキーの2%以下のシェアを占めるにすぎない。しかし酒質のよさで根強い人気がある。発芽していないオオムギを麦芽で糖化,発酵させ,これを3回蒸留して樽でねかせる。麦芽の乾燥にピート(泥炭)を用いないので煙香がないのが特徴である。現在ではグレーンウィスキーをブレンドした製品なども出回っている。なおアイリッシュはアメリカンとともにwhiskyではなくwhiskeyと綴る。
