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 />
