Summer 2023: Amazing Ireland

Now on newsstands, our Summer issue spotlights Ireland, and all that the Emerald Isle has to offer by way of whiskey. We explore new distilleries that are now dotting Ireland’s west coast, a place that has long been known for its breathtaking beauty. We also look to Northern Ireland, which has a rich legacy in whiskey making, but is perhaps less known for its modern whiskey innovations. Additionally, we detail the diverse array of Irish whiskey styles now on offer, as well as the distillers who are making the country’s whiskey renaissance an indisputable reality.

Aside from Irish whiskey, we dig into the best barbecue and whisky pairings, and some recipes that are sure to delight. We also look at the booming business of distillery weddings, which has grown considerably in recent years. And if you’re planning a trip to London, we’ve gathered some must-see whisky destinations, from hotels and restaurants to bars and retail shops.

And as always, we have a plethora of whisky reviews; 90 are featured in our Summer Buying Guide.
