    That's not from their distillate though, is it?

    No. Sliabh Liag have always been clear on this.

    From their website: "The Silkie is the first step in our ambitious journey. While we build our whiskey distillery, we have sourced a blend of malt and grain whiskeys that when blended together deliver a signature soft mouth feel and a silken, easy character."

    Their distillery is well underway, I believe.

    Going through the full bottles I have in the whiskey cabinet the last few months. Some of them are bottles I got when I first got into whiskey. At that time I was delighted to have them but they have since got pushed to the back with the arrival of the latest single cask or limited bottling. Opened a bottle of Black Bush there and it's going down a treat.

    https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/irish-whiskey-and-cream-to-be-given-special-status-in-china-39780774.html
    Irish whiskey and cream will be given special status in China due to an agreement between China and the European Union from 2021.

    Ireland’s whiskey and cream are just two of over 100 Geographical Indicators (GIs) - a distinctive sign used to identify a product whose quality, reputation or other characteristics relate to its geographical origin - which were approved by the European Council today.

    The Council approved the Agreement on the Protection of Geographical Indications between the EU and China, which will see the GIs granted a “high level of protection” on the Chinese market.

    The list of GIs also includes Cava, Champagne, Feta, Münchener Bier, Ouzo, Polska Wódka, Porto, Prosciutto di Parma and Queso Manchego.

    Think we have 6 vouchers to use which will be put mostly on booze so happy for suggestions

    I'd double check if you can use vouchers for alcohol purchases there.
    I know SuperValu have stopped it with alcohol purchases since November 1st.
    O'Brien's are no longer issuing points on purchases and any accumulated point have to be used up of lost be early 2021, i don't know the exact date.

    Do you mean Supervalu have stopped issuing points in alcohol sales?

    Can still use spend save vouchers from rewards app in my local Supervalu for alcohol.

    I’ve used €12 off €60 vouchers in Tesco for the last few weeks and haven’t had an issue using them with booze. Yesterday the only things I bought were wine and whiskey and they accepted the voucher.
    1L of Powers and Paddy on special for €25 there at the moment.
    Now seems to be the time to stock up.

    On a side note, are they banning drink specials and using the shop and save vouchers on drink in January?

    There was a few posts on the booze deals on the bargain alerts thread about it, but i can't find them right now.

    It was mentioned that Dunnes were stopping the use of vouchers with alcohol purchases, its some new law, the same one that introduced those 'doors' into the off-licence section of supermarkets.

    If they are still taking them, fair enough, but my understanding is that that's coming to an end pretty soon.

    Found one of the posts on that thread, from Jan 11th vouchers can't be used for alcohol in Tesco, so you're grand.

    I don't know when other supermarkets are kicking in with this.

    From mid January.
    No loyalty points or spend and saves.
    No multi buy discounts.
    Basically nothing that encourages you to buy more at a discount.
    All retailers will be rolling it out.

    Discounted price is ok for this phase until MUP if it comes in - that would put a floor on any discounts.

    Made an Old Fashioned just now (because why the hell not?) but only realised at the last minute that I didn't have any bourbon. Probably not a good sign that I can't remember finishing the Jim Beam... :pac: Decided to use Roe & Co. instead. I'm pretty happy with my choice.

    My point is you should still be able to use a geographical name, if you intend to distill your whiskey there. You shouldn't have to trade under a different name until such time as you bottle the whiskey the came off your stills.
    I wasn't suggesting they had to trade under a different name. I'm literally saying the opposite. That a geographical name shouldn't be any more restricted over a a different name. As in choosing a generic name shouldn't open up any loopholes.

    I also wish there was clarity on original. But that applies separately to the above.

    Was at a whiskey match lunch over the weekend. A few new drops tasted, for me any way. All Glenfiddich as that was who organised it.

    Glenfiddich - Fire and Cane - 43%
    Slightly sweet and spicy, pair well with peppered venison carpaccio (spot the connection ;)

    Glenfiddich 15year old, cask strength, single cask - 58%
    Heavy mouthfeel, very savoury, delicious drop.

    There was a Glenfiddich 12 sorbet palette cleanser server at this point

    Glenfiddich Project XX : Rob Roy - Project XX contains strong port cask influence, conbined with whatever a dry red vermouth this was almost like a dry aged red wine - intentional for the beef course.

    Dessert was a honey and clove pudding. But the star of the show was the final dram. Glenfiddich Grand Cru - 23 year old scotch finished in French Cuvée casks. Apparently this is not yet released this side of the water, not sure what it retails at but imagine it won't be cheap. Very impressed.

    This Ralfy thing could be interesting (I don't even know who he is) after the whole Jim Murray thing.

    There was a pretty strong backlash against the "cancelling" and vilifying of Murray over his sexist comments.
    Will people be happier about a "cancelling" over derogatory, discriminatory, stereotypical language use about the Irish?

    Time will tell, I guess.
    Interesting.

    Surprised to read that , he seemed like a pretty chilled guy especially since starting fitness videos .Haven’t watched him for a while and wouldn’t be rushing back after that .But as stated I’d imagine an apology is imminent .

    Ralfy's an awful gob****e and always was. He spends 40 minutes padding out a video that has about 10 minutes of actual content in it. I've rarely seen him say a good word about Irish whiskey.

    I totally misinterpreted this comment to mean how nice we look in relation to the trigger happy Yanks, Brits, Russians etc...

    Can we not just respond with some offensive joke about sheep and family members and move on?

    Celtic Cask tasting €55

    What's in the pack?
     5 x 30ml 
    We are delighted to launch the latest whiskeys in our own award winning Celtic Cask Series. The range was born from our strong relationship with the Irish distillers and the European bodegas and wine houses. We've been able to hand-pick some of more interesting distillates from the length of the country, both single malt and single pot still, and mature or finish them in great casks from Spain, Portugal and Italy. This tasting will feature the upcoming releases of the Celtic Cask Troicha (30), Triocha Haon (31), Triocha Trí (33), Triocha Ceathair (34) & Triocha Cúig (35).

     When?

    Zoom tasting will take place on Thursday December 17th at 8pm with our very own Whiskey Specialist, Al Higgins and friends.

    So they took the voucher and will be taking them until new year which is good news. So I can use them each week.

    This week I got another Black Barrel as I was running low. They didn't have powers 3 swallows so I'll just pick that up elsewhere. Went for Roe and Co and a Tullamore since I've never had them and I liked the look of the tullamore glasses.

    Black Barrel - €35
    Roe and Co - €25
    Tullamore DEW, with 2 branded glasses - €20

    Knock off the €15 voucher and that takes it from 80 quid down to 65 which is fantastic imo.

    MoM advent calendar at the weekend...

    1492 - pleasant enough, this is one of those occasions where yet again I find an American bourbon or whisky that is aged for a paltry 36 months (?) and we discover that it is perfectly drinkable.

    Jack Daniels single barrel - Of course it's 'fine', but I think I would prefer its stablemate Gentleman Jack... Seems only fair to compare them.

    I just watched the video there, and regardless of the dodgy comments, he doesn't even get his facts correct about the spot range.

    It's a blend, no, it's a mix of pot stills (it's single pot still). Mitchell and sons are a grocers (wine merchants). Blue Spot has been hard to get (off the market for 50+ years). The man is an embarrassment. Maybe if he hadn't have drunk half the bottle before recording the video he would have been a bit less racist and a bit more coherent.

    I had a bottle of their 26 release and it took a long time for it to grow on me. Very, very syrupy, almost port-like and very cloudy.

    Once I discovered it goes well with cheese, well that was the end of that.

    I would be interested in trying a few of these, though.

    Interesting read about the person behind that whiskey...

    https://tripledistilled.blog/2020/06/06/james-bradley-whiskey-wealth-club-and-other-peoples-money/

    "...sold to Jim Crane, owner of the Major Leage Baseball team the Houston Astros. The proceeds of the sale of the bottle will go to a charity founded by Houston Astros player Carlos Correa and his wife..."
    That suggests the price may have been driven by goodwill and the cause, rather than by the liquid being auctioned!

    According to their website:
    "THE DEVIL EXACTS THE HIGHEST PRICE FOR WHAT IS THE FINEST IRISH WHISKEY EVER MADE, AS WE BRING YOU THE RAREST AND OLDEST TRIPLE DISTILLED AND TRIPLE CASKED SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY EVER RELEASED, DISTILLED IN 1991, AND MATURED IN THE FINEST CASKS MONEY CAN BUY, AVAILABLE IN A VERY LIMITED INAUGURAL RELEASE OF JUST 333 BOTTLES"

    Am i not mistaken in thinking the Midleton ultra premium release earlier this year was a 45 year old single malt?
    Also this is triple distilled, so it has to be Bushmills or Midleton, wasnt Cooley double distilled back then (and still now)?

    Also, and its not as important, but its called The Devils keep! And they only released 333 bottles!! Would they not half the volume and release 666 bottles??

    You know I interpreted it that way and then I thought no he isn't referencing the troubles he's comparing Modern Ireland to U.S/U.K who are bombing everybody. Ralfy has Irish friends so I don't think he is ignorant.

    You know I interpreted it that way and then I thought no he isn't referencing the troubles he's comparing Modern Ireland to U.S/U.K who are bombing everybody. Ralfy has Irish friends so I don't think he is ignorant.

    It's a strange reference. He has deleted the video and uploaded an edited one without that comment.

    Got my glengoyne tasting set from Celtic Whiskey today. Some lovely colours and smells off them. Have tried the 25 year old before at Christmas and it was sublime. I'll have to settle for the 21 year old this time!

    Looks like O'Brien's are doing Red Breast 12 YO for €55 in their whiskey sale. I'm tempted again.

    Was in there today getting some Belgian beers and it's impossible to look at the whiskey selection if there is a queue or without the staff staring at you. I wish they would move it!

    Lovely. Saw it in Tesco for 68 today and was going to use next weeks voucher on it but I'll just get it in O Briens and get something else in Tesco.

    Shaping up to be a very merry Christmas indeed :eek:
