In the hit TV show Peaky Blinders, the characters are often seen indulging in the smooth and rich taste of whiskey. While the show does not explicitly state the brand of whiskey they drink, it is widely believed that the preferred choice of the notorious Shelby family is Irish whiskey. And if we delve deeper into the whiskey world, one brand that has recently become the Official Whiskey of the Peaky Blinders TV show is Bushmills Irish Whiskey.
As a sommelier and brewer, I must say that Bushmills is an excellent choice for the characters of Peaky Blinders. It is a well-respected Irish whiskey brand with a long and storied history dating back to 1608. Bushmills is known for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to creating a smooth and flavorful whiskey.
Irish whiskey, in general, is characterized by its triple distillation process, resulting in a smoother and lighter profile compared to other types of whiskey. This makes it an ideal choice for those who prefer a milder and more approachable flavor. And it seems that this is precisely the type of whiskey that Tommy Shelby, the protagonist of Peaky Blinders, prefers.
Irish whiskey has gained popularity in recent years, and it's not surprising that it has found its way into the glass of the Shelby family. The smoothness and complexity of Irish whiskey can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in various cocktails, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
As an avid fan of Peaky Blinders, I can relate to the characters' preference for Irish whiskey. There is something captivating about sipping on a glass of whiskey while immersing oneself in the gritty and thrilling world of the Shelby family. It adds a touch of sophistication and rebellion, much like the characters themselves.
While the show does not explicitly mention the brand of whiskey the characters drink, it is widely believed that the Shelby family's preferred choice is Irish whiskey. And with Bushmills Irish Whiskey becoming the Official Whiskey of the Peaky Blinders TV show, it only adds to the authenticity and enjoyment of the viewing experience. So, next time you sit down to watch an episode of Peaky Blinders, why not raise a glass of Bushmills Irish Whiskey and toast to the Shelby family? Cheers!
