Paddy Devil's Apple is a flavored line extension from Paddy's Irish Whiskey, blending the brand's smooth triple distilled Irish whiskey with crisp apple and a devilish cinnamon kick. Crafted at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, the same home as Paddy's Old Irish Whiskey, the recipe layers genuine apple and cinnamon flavors over the Paddy base for a sweet, fruit forward, warming pour. At 70 proof and 35% ABV, it's purpose built for shots, fall and winter cocktails, hot apple toddies, and anywhere a sweeter Irish whiskey expression belongs. The bottle wears the iconic Paddy script and labeling with a red apple front and center.

FAQ
Is Paddy Devil's Apple actually whiskey? Technically a flavored Irish whiskey liqueur. The base spirit is genuine Paddy Irish Whiskey produced at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, but at 70 proof with added apple and cinnamon flavors and caramel color, it's classified as a liqueur rather than a straight Irish whiskey.
How is it best served? The brand suggests "chill it, shoot it, mix it" — it works well as a chilled shot, in hot apple toddies, mixed with apple cider for an autumn highball, or as a cocktail base in apple pie themed drinks. Pairs naturally with ginger beer, lemon, and bitters for a Hard Apple cocktail.
How does it compare to standard Paddy's Old Irish Whiskey? Standard Paddy's is a triple distilled blend at 80 proof with malty, honeyed, dry character. Devil's Apple uses Paddy's as the base but adds bright apple and cinnamon flavoring, drops the proof to 70, and leans much sweeter. Different drinking occasions: Paddy's neat or in classic Irish whiskey cocktails, Devil's Apple chilled or in flavored mixed drinks.
