Irish Mist Honey Whiskey Liqueur

Smooth, mellow, and steeped in Irish tradition, Irish Mist Honey Whiskey Liqueur combines aged Irish whiskey, wild heather honey, and natural herbs and spices to create a liqueur of warmth, sweetness, and complexity.

First produced in 1947, Irish Mist was the first whiskey liqueur ever to be commercially bottled in Ireland, inspired by a centuries-old monastic recipe known as “Heather Wine.” Its unique balance of honeyed sweetness, whiskey depth, and herbal spice has made it a timeless Irish classic — equally suited for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in refined cocktails.

Irish Mist was created in County Tipperary and remains one of Ireland’s most iconic liqueurs. The recipe is rooted in Irish monastic and medieval traditions, believed to date back over a thousand years. Today, it is owned and produced by William Grant & Sons, alongside other Irish whiskey greats like Tullamore D.E.W.

Still crafted in Ireland using triple-distilled whiskey, heather honey, and a blend of secret botanicals, Irish Mist continues to represent the true spirit of Irish hospitality and craftsmanship.
