Review: Paddy Devils Apple

paddy devils apple - CopyPaddy Devils Apple was introduced in 2013 along with their Bee Sting flavor.  Both flavors are sold exclusively in the US.  They create a Spiced Apple and Irish Honey  version for the European market.  It is created with Original Paddy Irish Whiskey which is made with Barley harvested from the East Cork countryside, water from the river Dungourney, malt, and a special distillers yeast.  It is triple distilled in copper pot stills and then filled into oak casks to rest for up to seven years.  It is then blended with malt and grain whiskey.  Natural apple and cinnamon flavors and sugar are mixed with this three whiskey blend in small batches, before filtering and bottling in Middleton, County Cork Ireland.  Because this weighs in at 70 proof, under the 80 proof required for Irish Whiskey, Paddy calls their Devils Apple, a Premium Liqueur.  Read more »
