Hot Irishman was a company established in 1999 by husband-and-wife team, Bernard and Rosemary Walsh. Its initial purpose was to blend and bottle their Irish coffee brand which shared the same name as the company, however they diversified into the whiskey trade properly in 2006 with the launch of their The Irishman brand of blended and single malt whiskies. This was joined in 2009 by the single pot still-focussed Writers Tears label.
The company was merged into a new venture in 2013 called Walsh Whiskey Distillery, a 50:50 partnership between the Walsh family and ILLVA Saronno in Italy.
