o' Ireland's most noteworthy<br />

Although enduring countless centuries<br />
<strong>of</strong> hardlhlps and adversities, the<br />
Irish have made their mark in world<br />

they are shipped. Irish is a particularly smooth whiik#y,<br />
with a great deal <strong>of</strong> body and a clean, malty flavor.<br />
Strangely enough, Irish whiskey is fermented from the<br />
same kind <strong>of</strong> mash used in Scotland, namely, malted<br />
barley, unmilfed barley, corn, ry§ and other small<br />
grains. The Scots, however, givt distinctive flavor to their<br />
liquor by aging the whiskey in charred wooden casks<br />
which impart* the smoky peat flavor.<br />
Leading th« list <strong>of</strong> favored brews <strong>of</strong> Ireland art Harp<br />
Lager and Guiness Stout, Stout, which is seldom seen in<br />
American homes, Is a very dirk ale with a strong milt<br />
flavor, a sweet taste and a' strong hop character.<br />
