The new Kilbeggan 15 yr. old blend will also be getting in its way to circulation in August in the U.S. I have a review sample and have already tasted it. My review is below, which will appear in the next issue of Malt Advocate, due out in a few weeks. In short: a decent […]
I’m on a roll reviewing new Irish whiskeys, so I might as well keep it going. Here’s my review of the new Tullamore Dew 10 year old which will be working its way into circulation. This review will appear in the 4th Quarter issue of Malt Advocate magazine.

There aren’t too many Irish grain whiskeys around and, if you want one, you’ll want to seek out the Cooley distillery releases. The new limited edition Greenore 15 yr. old grain whiskey will go into circulation in the U.S. in August. How does it compare to its younger sibling, the 8 year old? I have a […]
Two posts in one morning! My contact at Cooley let me know about this a few days ago, but I waited to post it up until I got specific details on when it would be available in the U.S.
The Cooley distillery has just introduced the Ireland’s old grain whisky under the Greenore label. Many of you […]
I was just informed by Tullamore Dew’s PR company that a new 10 year old blend will be arriving in the U.S. in the September/October time frame. According to my PR contact:
The Tullamore Dew 10-Year-Old is simply a new addition to the Tullamore Dew family; they are only allocating for 900 cases in 2008 giving […]
For those of you who missed the show’s debut on St. Patrick’s Day, you get another chance to watch it on Saturday, April 26th, at 7:00 p.m. It’s a really nice show covering Scotch, Irish, Canadian, Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey. They even cover the craft distilling movement. And yes, I’m in it too. I tell […]
St. Patrick’s Day is the only day I try to avoid Irish pubs. Far too crowded for me.
If you feel the same way, you might want to tune into the History Channel tonight at 8pm. The Modern Marvels series is debuting a one-hour show on whiskey (and whisky). I haven’t seen it yet, but I […]
Until after St. Patrick’s Day, that is. For the next three weeks or so, I am not going to write about Irish whiskey. Why? because that’s what everybody else will be doing.
The whiskey companies pick now to promote their whiskeys. They pick now to introduce new whiskeys. They pick now to bring their distillery managers, […]
The cover story in the current issue of Malt Advocate focuses on buying scotch whisky by the cask. It discusses which distilleries currently allow an individual to purchase and entire cask, as well as pointing out some of the pros and cons of cask ownership.
So, I am curious. How many of you own a cask […]
Keeping in the Irish whiskey theme for the “Friday’s Pick”, here’s Bushmill’s newest entry. I’ve been sitting on this whiskey for a while, waiting closer to its release date here in the U.S. before posting a review. It’s a really nice, limited-edition, blended Irish whiskey released to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Bushmills (the location, not the […]
