The Sword and The Harp, Saint Patrick’s Day Cocktail
Definitively whiskey potency, a nice aromatic bitter aroma brought with a bit of berry and anise in the finish.

A sour bite that strikes hard against the whiskey. You have to be willing to accept a citrus and irish whiskey melding together in your mouth.
Rich Irish cream flavor with memorable amounts of chocolate and occasional strawberry sweetness with a muted whiskey finish, no burn
A cocktail that’s short and green, just like a little leprechaun. This is a shooter for a quick fix of flavor. This recipe includes: 1/3 oz. Irish Whiskey, 1/3 oz. Goldschlager and 1/3 oz. Creme de Menthe.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today we’re not going green–we’re going gold baby! This is the drink at the end of the rainbow, utilizing Irish Whiskey. We’ve got some ginger ale, a hint of orange juice and a nice sweet peach schnapps.
We’re adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another “tea” style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea.

You don’t have to be from Texas to [...]
Irish Coffee, is this how they drink it in Ireland? Probably not, but we’re drinking it that way.

The Hot Apple Toddy is much like the original toddy but with some apple cider. This is a good holiday drink with seasonal flavor and style, it’s warm so it will be good for those chilly days after shoveling a pile of snow. Or, for those that don’t get snow, just enjoy the fact that you don’t and we do. Show Links: Print The Recipe
I’ve had a chance to review Michael Collins Irish Whiskey Blend, but now it’s time to hit the single malt and see how she handles the palate.

I’m going to sip it both neat and with ice to see if I can find all the subtle differences in taste and scent. First, in a glass at room temperature I’m finding [...]
This blend is aged in oak casks, Michael Collins Irish Whiskey presents as a dark copper but remains crystal clear. I’ve taken the time to start my taste testing neat, without ice and pour ice into it later after I’ve written down notes on its “neat” presentation. The bouquet of Michael Collins Whiskey Blend is that of sweet oak and light notes of coconut. My second sniff resulted in something I’m not used to picking up on the nose: a [...]
