This Irish liqueur is based on a combination of whiskey, honey, and various botanicals. It is believed to stem from a century-old recipe for heather wine, but it was officially launched in 1947. The liqueur is characterized by its deep amber color and complex flavor that is typically smooth and displays warm honey aromas, with underlying notes of spices and fruit. Irish Mist is usually served neat over ice, but it also blends well with soda, soft drinks, or coffee.
