March isn’t just about wearing green and looking for that pot of gold — it’s about celebrating one of the world’s most storied whiskey traditions.
Irish whiskey has been distilled for centuries, and its signature style is known around the globe for one defining trait: smoothness. By law, Irish whiskey must be distilled and aged in Ireland for at least three years in wooden casks. Many expressions are triple-distilled, creating a lighter, silkier spirit compared to Scotch, while still delivering depth and character.
You’ll find four classic styles of Irish whiskey:
· Single Malt – 100% malted barley from one distillery
· Single Pot Still – Ireland’s iconic style, using both malted and unmalted barley for a creamy, spice-driven profile
· Grain Whiskey – Light, elegant, and often used in blends
· Blended Whiskey – A harmonious marriage of two or more styles
But here’s where Hyde turns tradition into something truly special.
Named after a family with more than 12 generations in Ireland’s hospitality industry, Hyde doesn’t rush whiskey to market. Instead, the brand leans into one of the most powerful flavor tools in whiskey-making: the cask.
Hyde whiskeys begin with exceptional distillate — then evolve through carefully selected oak barrels and distinctive finishing casks. Think ex-bourbon barrels for vanilla warmth. Oloroso sherry casks for dried fruit richness. Dark rum casks for subtle sweetness and depth. Even burgundy wine casks that layer in soft tannin and red fruit complexity.
The result? A whiskey that keeps the classic Irish smoothness intact — but adds dimension, structure, and personality.
On the palate, Hyde delivers waves of honey, toasted oak, baking spice, caramel, orchard fruit, and gentle heat on the finish. It’s refined, but never boring. Approachable, yet complex enough to reward a slow sip. For retailers and on-premise accounts, Hyde offers something especially powerful during March: a brand that honors Irish tradition while giving consumers a premium experience worth discovering.
This season, don’t just pour Irish whiskey.
Pour a story. Pour craftsmanship. Pour Hyde.
