Import Tips
• Keep documentation of the triple-distillation process and aging period to substantiate the Irish whiskey classification
• Verify that the alcohol strength is below 80% vol and that no denaturants are added
• Consult with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency if labeling claims about Irish origin are made, as they may require verification
