When it comes to coffee drinks, there’s nothing more quintessentially Irish than adding in a little drop of Irish Whiskey to make a cold winter evening more enjoyable.
The Irish Coffee was first created in the winter of 1943 by Joe Sheridan, a barman and chef, and was given as a welcoming drink to tourists arriving in Ireland from transatlantic flights. The Glendalough Whiskey Distillery was set up by a group of friends from Wicklow with a passion for reviving the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland.
If you’re visiting Wicklow and looking for something tasty on a cold winter’s evening or just a coffee with a kick, choose Wicklow Heather’s deliciously rich warming Irish Coffee with Glendalough Whiskey.
