I'm not much into Spirits and those I like most are grape or other fruit based. I can appreciate great Scotland whiskey quality without enjoying it, but, I must admit to real enjoyment of this smooth, mellow, silky Irish whiskey. — 9 years ago

The town of Kilcock, Ireland was founded in the 7th century around the healing wells of a brewing monastery, and until the 1800s it was home to five breweries and two distilleries. Our own brewery, in fact, can be tracked back to 1595, sharing a space with the famous Green Well, which is as old as Kilcock itself.
A town steeped in history is the ideal place to brew fantastic beer, and to write our own brewing history – in this case, the story of the dysfunctional first family of Irish brewing, the McGargles. — 10 years ago

The sister to Friday's "Steak and Claret Night" is now Monday's "Martini Night." The Terroir is just that... Like falling face first into the undergrowth of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Pine, flowers, earth. Yum! — 11 years ago

An old Madeira, a good wine that really needs time to reveal itself, very shy and spirits like at first open, but patience reveals a wine with great acidity and very long lasting finish 😊 — 11 years ago

Chocolate and red fruit but still a hint of game and rusticicity. Beautiful wine. Had in Ireland for Evans bday. First bottle had enough air and thus smoother. PnP 2nd bottle had ruff tannins. — 9 years ago

Cardinal's 1st ever barrel of whiskey released 12/5/2015. Single malt whiskey made from 100% malted barley from Sugar Creek Malt Co. in Lebanon, Indiana. This is the very first craft single malt whiskey grown, mashed, fermented, distilled, & aged in Indiana. Notes: spicy, malty, with a lasting cinnamon & banana after burn. I can't wait to see how the other barrels turn out after they finish maturing! — 10 years ago

First let state how much I enjoy Guinness Draught and the import Stout, this brewed in Dunlin, so that is good, I like this but it could been better, little too light, it is like Draught light, I think the overall brew is very good, just as I say little light — 12 years ago

Our spirits buyer David just returned from Oaxaca preaching the parallels between Mezcal & Burgundy: tiny productions, individuality and synergy with food. I had my doubts. This will be the first spirit to go in my wine journal in over a decade- our homemade tacos made the spirit come alive with soulful, smoky complexity... And I thought anything over 14% was a disaster with food! — 10 years ago
