The Great Fancy Booze Revolution commenced about 20 years ago in America with the single-malt Scotch craze. Oh, there had been upscale whiskey here before (Chivas Regal, Johnnie Walker Black), but the single malts established a new ultratony (and ultrapricey) liquor class. Soon, they were joined by boutique vodkas with European accents, small-batch bourbons, swank tequilas, and $50-a-bottle rums (hold the Coke, please).

Now, late but not least, the mother of all spirits-Irish whiskey-has made its way into the upper crust.

It's about time, considering how long Ireland's been in the whiskey biz. Some say Saint Patrick himself introduced the stuff to Dublin back in the late fifth century. The very word whiskey (with an e in Ireland and the U.S., no e in Scotland and Canada) is derived from the Gaelic uisce beathadh, which means "water of life." How much more basic can you get? While single-malt Scotch is defined by its peat-driven smokiness, and small-batch bourbon by its corn-born sweetness, fine Irish whiskey has a soft, smooth finish and a clean, fresh taste-sometimes with hints of toffee, caramel, or vanilla, other times a little floral.

If connoisseurship is your thing, you'll want to know that Irish whiskey gets its freshness from the smoke-free heat used to dry the malted barley (the Ur ingredient); that it's distilled three times (Scotch is usually distilled twice); and that its flavors are imparted by aging the product in oak barrels formerly used to hold port, sherry, bourbon, or some combination of the three. Then again, if you simply choose to accept your good fortune as a gift from Saint Patrick and not clutter your mind with whiskey esoterica ... well, cheers.

The Best of the Best

Jameson 1780 Reserve

Blended, 12 years old. Rich, deep, and mellow. Hints of citrus, apple, and wild honey. Clean finish on the tongue. $35.

Bushmills Black Bush

A rich, malty blend with a smooth, light caramel bass note. Great after dinner.

Redbreast Pot Still

Hard to find but worth the search. Hell, worth going to Ireland for. Crisp, floral nose. Soft, long finish. Just might be the best whiskey in the world.

Knappogue Castle

1990 Gently herbal, with a hint of honey. Soft in the mouth. Subtly complex.

Connemara

The exception to the Irish rule -- a single malt with a smoky, peaty aroma. Also suggestions of tar and oloroso sherry.

Bushmills 16

Single malt, 16 years old. Deep, complex, assertive. Matured in three different "woods" (bourbon, sherry, and port barrels).

Midleton Very Rare

Blends the taste of almonds, fruits, honey, and herbal spice for a smooth, velvety finish. If you really, really want to impress your boss.
