St Patrick's Day - Irish Celebration

[Ganga]

Well, you don't have to be Irish to enjoy. Bring in some Irish whisky or beer.

I will be on tomorrow night to celebrate but started a little early with some Guinness.

[pkt77242]

Had some Jameson's Gold Reserve to celebreate St Paddy's (since it is already the 17th there). Very nice

[Ganga]

Well, I had some Powers and Jamesons tonight (and it was the 17th there at the time). Will revist these during the 17th local time.

But is it magically delicious?

Some Guinness Draught

[pkt77242]

Also some Bushmills White label in my whiskey hand. Which is the opposite of Magically delicious.

[pkt77242]

Guinness Extra Stout and some Black Bush

[Ganga]

Stout and Black Bush....

Starting with the Powers Gold. Still comes off as young.

Chat.

[Ganga]

Yes, I'm at chat.

Moving to the Jameson's next.

[pkt77242]

Same here Jameson

[Ganga]

Knappogue single malt 1991-98.

[Ganga]

A yummy dram, Red Breast 12.

[Ganga]

A second pass through the Irish but with a brandy glass. Powers is up first. I think the whisky is much more mellow in this glass but still young.

[pkt77242]

Jameson Gold Reserve. Very damn good.

[Ganga]

The Jameson brandy glass. Little better nose but overall isn't really an improvement.

[Ganga]

Nose on the Knappogue. Brandy glass really intensifies the nose thus making the palate even richer.

[Ganga]

Onto the Red Breast 12 in the brandy glass. Huge fleshy fruits on the nose. Rich roasted malt on the palate.

[Ganga]

Ok, I enjoyed my Irish whiskies. Thanks for all that stopped in.

[pkt77242]

Redbreast 15yo.
