    Seattle-ite here, with more experience with Scotch than Irish whiskey, but with a local burger-and-whiskey bar having half price Irish shots on Sundays, been loving the experience of a decent Irish lately. Ive not seen Powers at the bar, so I might suggest it. From the descriptions given, Id love it!
    Nice going Darren . . .except for poor Grainne! Accosted in the street by "weirdos" :D

    Great new series here I am thinking. I will happily pay for your tour of our local distillery here in Victoria BC if you ever get over the pond on a vacation. It won 2023 Worlds best Pot Still whiskey at the World Whisky Awards.....They have an entire line of Irish style Whisky's, being made by a transported Scot in Canada. They had Dr Jim Swan set up their aging process. He was the best in the world before his passing shortly after getting Macaloney's set up.

    There is rather the big 4 of Irish whiskey; Paddy's, Powers, Jamesons, and the Dew. Dew is my go to, but I am afraid Powers is rather at the ass end of the quartet for myself. Id call it a very fine day to cavort about Dublin with Darren and trying the Waters of Life at every Pub along the lanes. Bon Voyage on your new endeavor Darren, I'll be popping in and keeping tabs.

I'll pick up a bottle of Paddy's ever so often just because it seems to be a great value for the price of it here. Great video, definitely looking forward to more. Thanks!

But I was in my local liquor store here in Maryland today looking for something new, and there was a single bottle left of this for $30. Very different flavors going on here. But I think I like it. Even though the gold label thing is a lie. Thanks for picking a good one.
