Irish whiskey is whiskey made in Ireland or Scotland that doesn't meet the requirements to be called "Scoth"which has a fairly strict set of requirements to carry the name on their drink. Many Irish whiskeys are blended with whiskeys not allowed in Scoth and use ingredients not allowed in Scotch. A Whiskey made in Ireland would also not be allowed to be called Scotch. The names are sometimes traditions but in other cases they are legal tradnames.
