With gin being so popular we’ll wager that a fair few folk will be pouring G&Ts in St Patrick’s honour this year, and if you aim to be one of them then may we recommend Dingle’s fine booze to accompany the tonic.

Using foraged ingredients from the Kerry landscape, including rowan berries, hawthorn and heather, it has fresh herbal and floral notes alongside the requisite juniper characteristics.

This liqueur blends The Dubliner’s triple distilled Irish whiskey with honeycomb and caramel and it tastes just as you would imagine: smooth and boozy with the whiskey’s vanilla and spice notes given a sweet honey coating.

There can’t be many people who don’t like a nip of Bailey’s Irish Cream, and we reckon this Coole Swan liqueur is equally worthy of some St Patrick’s Day sipping action.

It’s a liqueur that combines Irish Whiskey, Irish cream and white chocolate for an extra smooth texture – sweet, boozy and deliciously luxurious.

Jameson produce the best known Irish whiskey in the world and for this release they’ve mixed things up with the country’s most loved beer style by finishing their spirit in casks seasoned with stout.

Ireland is famed for its potatoes so it’s no surprise that we have more booze made from the tuberous veg, this time a vodka from Co Donegal. Whereas Irish whiskey is noted for a triple distillation, this vodka has been through the process not three, not four, but six (SIX!) times.

The result is a super smooth and creamy spirit that has an earthy punch to the alcohol. And if you want even more potato-based booze then Muff Liquor also produces a potato gin.
