A composed Irish whiskey that can combine gentle grain character with fruit, malt, spice and richer pot-still texture. Familiar examples are approachable and balanced, but the category also accommodates substantial oak, concentrated flavour and distinctive cask finishes. Lightness is a possible objective, not a legal obligation.

Irish whiskey with a grain-based, column-distilled foundation, often showing cereal, vanilla, light fruit and a relatively gentle texture. Mature or actively casked examples can be much more concentrated, with red fruit, spice and tannin. Grain whiskey is not necessarily neutral, simple or intended only for blending.

Malted-barley whiskey from one Irish distillery, with potential notes of cereal, orchard fruit, honey-like aromas, vanilla, nuts and wood spice. Peated examples also exist. The style ranges from delicate and floral to rich and cask-driven, with no requirement that every example share a light national house style.

An Irish whiskey associated with rounded or oily texture, lively spice, fruit and a combination of malted- and unmalted-barley character. Oak can add vanilla, nuts and dried fruit. The style's appeal often lies in the way creamy weight and energetic spice coexist rather than in maximum sweetness or smoke.
