Imagine the wonderful sweet taste of aged Irish whiskey blended with honey and herbs to a perfect smoothness. That’s Irish Mist – a classic liqueur with a great taste and steeped in history.

Based on a traditional recipe for heather wine, Irish Mist’s delicious blend of honey, herbs and spices was first experienced by the chieftains and nobles of Ireland’s ancient clans.  

The secret recipe all but disappeared with the last great exodus of the Irish Earls in 1691, only to be rediscovered on an ancient manuscript brought by a traveller from Europe to Ireland.

In 1947, Irish Mist became the first liqueur to be produced in Ireland and that same great taste prevails.

The brand sells primarily in United States and duty-free and is manufactured at the Group’s plant in Clonmel.
