Bushmills 25- and 30-Year Irish Whiskey
It’s the start of March and we are less than 2-weeks away from St. Patrick’s Day so why not start this month with Irish whiskey.

Given that it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend and I’m a huge fan of West Cork, when I saw this reddish bottle at just $33, I simply couldn’t help myself. This is one of two bottles in the Glengarriff Series (don’t worry I got the other one as well, but we’ll save that for another…

This bottle was not easy to find! We called about 10 liquor stores to find it, and many gave us the same spiel… “this is an allocated bottle available to our barrel club members only…” blah blah blah. I’m over places who force you to buy their crap whisky to then have access to a…
