Irish Mist is a liqueur brand that carries both heritage and a distinctive flavor profile rooted in Ireland’s traditions. Created in the 1940s in Tullamore, County Offaly, Irish Mist was inspired by recipes said to date back hundreds of years, when Irish monks blended whiskey with honey, herbs, and spices as a form of cordial. The modern version was designed to capture that historic character in a refined, consistent way.

The liqueur is built on a base of Irish whiskey, sweetened with honey, and infused with aromatic herbs and spices, giving it a smooth, warming style that’s both approachable and versatile. While it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, it has also found a place in cocktails, often used where whiskey and sweetness are desired together.

As a brand, Irish Mist represents both authenticity and accessibility. It’s tied to the story of Ireland’s monastic distilling heritage and the idea of whiskey as something restorative, while also presenting itself as a contemporary liqueur that’s easy to drink. The name itself evokes the atmosphere of Ireland’s landscape — misty hills, ancient traditions, and a sense of quiet depth.

Over the years, Irish Mist has become recognized globally, not just as a liqueur but as an ambassador of Irish flavor and culture. It carries the dual identity of honoring the past while serving as a modern staple for those who want something smoother and sweeter than straight whiskey but still unmistakably Irish.
