For those that have heard horrible things about perpetually rainy San Francisco Winters, don’t believe any of it.  Yes, it rains, and on one or two occasions it rains hard.  And, yes, it’s cold, a deep bone-chilling cold special to San Francisco because we’re too stupid to insulate our buildings, knowing full well temperatures hover […]

*Thank you to the good folks at Gemini Spirits & Wine for the sample! Tyrconnell, or Tír Chonaill if you’d like, was one of the last sovereign Gaelic States in Ireland, existing from mid 400 AD to 1607 and covering what is now County Donegal and parts of Sligo, Leitrim, Tyrone, Fermanagh, and Derry.

*Thank you to the good folks at Gemini Spirits & Wine for the sample! I can’t hear “Connemara” and not think back 11 years ago to a family trip through Ireland and a fateful, death-defying horse-drawn trip through the Gap of Dunloe.

*Sincere thanks to Common Ground PR and Luxco for the sample According to the Irish food and drinks organization, Bord Bia, Irish Whiskey exports increased by 8% in 2016. Exports are projected to double by 2020, which, seeing as 2020 will be another presidential election year here in the embarrassing old U.S. of A., and we’ll … Continue reading The Quiet Man 8 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey – Review

Sincere thanks to SE and Nova Marketing for the sample. When one hears of an old brand being “revived,” it’s usually accompanied by a sharp wince and weary sigh of “haven’t we heard enough of this kind of thing?” All too often, a brand’s ancient history is inflated, conflated and romanticized, its current revivers claiming … Continue reading Egan’s 10 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey – Review
