Product description
Paddy is the fourth most popular Irish whiskey with annual sales of over 200,000 cases.
Its patron is the legendary Cork Distillers Company salesman Patrick J. O'Flaherty, whose sales techniques included buying rounds of whiskey for customers in bars and pubs during routine sales visits. Eventually, their owners began to order "Paddy's whiskey" from the producer. In 1913, the Cork Distillers Company officially registered the "Paddy" brand; originally a pure pot still whiskey, it has been a standard blend since the late 1960s. In 2016, then-owner Pernod Ricard sold the rights to Paddy Whiskey to the American company Sazerac Company of New Orleans for an undisclosed sum. Under the terms of the agreement, it is still produced at the Midleton Distillery.
