This week's post is a bit of an odd one. A fairly young indie Irish single grain, matured in tequila casks: it has the words 'hit or miss' attached to it. In big, bold neon letters! Now here: https://t.co/wTSJWzwPrJ

Huge thank you to everyone that came to Number 21 Off license Cashel last night for a lovely intimate tasting organised by owner John! We tried some exceptional whiskeys in a very beautifully finished private tasting room! Attendees even got to try a non alcoholic liquid which they enjoyed. Called water. 💦 🤣

We were proud to supply a bottle for Drams for Dogs at Arthur’s Pub in Dublin – part of @AFewJoyceWords incredible fundraising efforts for the upcoming Mizen to Malin cycle in aid of @irishguidedogs .

Cathal sets off on May 17th, covering nearly 660km on the back of a tandem bike (because, as he says, “I’m visually impaired and don’t want to lose any teeth!”). Between the raffle and whiskey tasting, a fantastic €3,540 was raised!

Big congrats to Tom from Dublin, who won the bottle through the online raffle. Every cent raised goes toward a brilliant cause – fair play, Cathal

It’s not easy having to sample and check on some single casks and future projects, but someone has to do it.

For the midweek slump, and the day that’s in it. A modern classic!
