The Wild Geese Irish Soldiers \u0026amp; Heroes Classic Blend Irish Whiskey is a blend of malt and grain whiskeys that is double distilled instead of the more common triple distillation seen in Irish whiskey. After being aged in ex-bourbon casks, the whiskey is bottled at 80 proof. The blend of malt and grain as well as the extended double distillation result in a balanced, smooth, and light profile with gentle spice notes that makes the spirit great for sipping as well as mixing. It has scored a \"3 Stars\". Recommended from Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, as well as a Bronze Medal at the New York International Spirits Competition, among other awards.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrab a bottle of this light Irish whiskey today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout The Wild Geese Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Patrick Sarsfield was an Irish soldier known for his role in the 17th century Williamite War in Ireland. As a senior commander of the Jacobite army, he was forced into exile after the Treaty of Limerick. As a part of the treaty, the Jacobite soldiers were allowed to cross to France during this event, later named \"The Flight of the Wild Geese\". The term \"Wild Geese\" had since been used when referring to Irish soldiers leaving to serve continental countries, as well as the Irish diaspora in general. The Wild Geese brand pays tribute to the history of Irish immigration.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3969\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all The Wild Geese Collection bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Irish Whiskey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIrish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’d like to check out our impressive selection of “\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/whiskey\/irish\/\"\u003eUisce Beatha\u003c\/a\u003e,” find your new favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/whiskey\/irish\/reviews\"\u003eBest reviewed Irish whiskeys\u003c\/a\u003e, and explore our treasury of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/rare-whiskey\/\"\u003erare \u0026amp; hard to find Irish whiskeys\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51412150452437,"sku":null,"price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/wild-geese-the-irish-soldiers-_-heroes-classic-blend_1.jpg?v=1745581431","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/the-wild-geese-the-irish-soldiers-heroes-classic-blend","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
