Modern Meets Tradition
We understand the importance of tradition. It is the connection across generations. It shows respect to those who have come before us. Most importantly, it brings people together.
It’s also why when we head to the Tommy Moloney’s test kitchens to work on a new product, we know the bar is set incredibly high. All of the meals that have been shared by friends and family, plates piled high with jumbo bangers, black puddings, and more bacon rashers than you can shake a stick at, turn into big smiles, joyful laughter and unforgettable memories.
You know to expect a great meal when you open a fresh package of Tommy Moloney’s. We want to add to that legacy of premium Irish cooking without taking anything away from it. That is why it is our immense pleasure to introduce to you: Tommy Moloney’s Hot Irish Whiskey Sausage.
Basics of Whiskey Sausage
For starters, a sausage is a food product made from ground meat, fat, seasonings and other ingredients that are then encased in a tube or casing. The meat used for sausages can vary, but traditional Irish sausage is made chiefly from pork. The fat content in the sausages provides the moisture, texture and delicious flavor.
No one is sure of an exact date when Ireland first produced sausages, but sausages have been a part of Irish cuisine for centuries. Breakfast sausages became especially popular during the 18th and 19th centuries.
So, what is a whiskey sausage? Now, we’re not telling you how to enjoy your premium Irish meats, but you probably won’t be including our Hot Irish Whiskey Sausage as part of your morning fry-up.
A whiskey sausage is a type of sausage made with the addition of whiskey during the preparation process. It is a flavorful variation that incorporates the distinctive taste of whiskey. Don’t worry, the alcohol content cooks off during preparation, so all ages can enjoy a hearty meal. The whiskey adds a unique depth of flavor to the sausage, imparting its distinct smoky, oaky, and subtly sweet notes.
