International Irish Whiskey Day or Irish Whiskey Day is celebrated March 3 because of the special significance the number has when it comes to whiskey in Ireland. As noted in an Irish Post article a few years ago.
For example, there are three established styles of Irish Whiskey: Single Grain, Single Malt and Single Pot Still.
It’s also a well-known fact that Irish Whiskey must be matured for at least three years before it can be called whiskey.
There’s the fact that traditional Irish Whiskey is triple distilled.
And let’s not forget the famous tricolour of the Irish flag.
March 3 also represents the perfect date for anyone eager to warm-up for the imminent St Patrick’s Day celebrations – exactly two weeks away.
