When it comes to whiskey, precision matters \u2014 whether you’re pouring the perfect dram or mixing up a classic cocktail. So, how many millilitres (ml) are in a shot of whiskey, especially in Ireland where whiskey tradition runs deep?<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Jameson<\/span><\/a>, we’re here to clear up any confusion. In Ireland, the standard whiskey shot size is 35.5ml. This measurement is slightly larger than the standard UK shot (25ml) and just a touch smaller than the average US pour (44ml).<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re travelling or ordering abroad, it’s good to know that “a shot” isn’t always a universal standard!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
