  World-Class Whiskey Selection
Frank O’Dowd’s Irish Pub & Grill located in The Irish Cottage Boutique Hotel is well-known for its great live entertainment, mouth-watering entrees and selection of Donegal Draft Delights. However, more and more of our guests are recognizing the Pub for its expansive collection of nearly 50 whiskeys, scotches and bourbons from around the globe.

The staff at Frank O'Dowd's Irish Pub & Grill believes that gaining a greater understanding of whiskey types allows the taster to develop an appreciation for the libation. While there are a number of variations, the four primary types are as follows:
  • Irish Whiskey - made from a combination of malted and unmalted
    barley blended with other grains; tripled distilled and aged at least
    five years in oak barrels
     
  • Single Malt Scotch - made from 100% malted barley and double
    distilled and aged for at least three years in oak barrels
     
  • Blended Scotch - combination of mature single malt scotch and
    young grain whiskies
     
  • Bourbon - distilled from at least 51% corn and aged in new
    charred-oak barrels for a minimum of two years
Although there are many ways to enjoy whiskey, it is best enjoyed in a snifter. The shape of the glass enables the taster to swirl the whiskey releasing the aromas and highlighting the flavors. Once in the glass, almost all whiskeys benefit from the addition of water, which opens up the spirit and unlocks the complex flavors and aromas deep within the flavor profile.

The staff at Frank O’Dowd’s Irish Pub & Grill looks forward to introducing you to our fine selection of whiskeys, scotches and bourbons. For a preview, download the taste profiles of our current collection.
