re: It’s time to talk Irish Whisky

Spent a week in Dublin last year and none of them will even touch Jameson 
. The neat thing was that many of the old, established pubs had their own brand of whisky. I pretty much drank Temple Bar out of its 12yr over the course of a few days. I'd love to be able to get it here, probably the smoothest whisky/whiskey I've ever had. If you can get your hands on some Poitin I would highly recommend. It's their version of moonshine, delicious.

Had the Glendalough 13 bourbon cask when I was there. Damn strong. Wish I was sober enough to remember all these better
The story we were told was back years ago several of the biggest irish whiskey distilleries had to merge just to stay afloat during its big downturn. They decided to put all their marketing efforts into one brand and they chose Jameson. Why? It was in a green bottle so it was the easier to brand as “Irish” in the US ... had nothing to do with Jameson being better or worse than others.
