Uisce Beatha - A Discussion of Irish Whiskey

[Hurricane Jack]

Yes, that's directly from Ireland. Unfortunately with CA laws as. they are, I can order liquor from outside the country but not inside the country. It sucks to live in CA.

That is odd because I buy from Old Town Liquors/Old Town Tequila in San Diego & they ship out daily.

USPS doesn't ship liquids but FedEx does.

If you can find a place that'll ship Glendalough to CA, please let me know!

It’s amazon.de, that’s at least what I put behind that link I attached.

When I click on the link, it's in German, which unfortunately I cannot read.

I’ll see what I can find.

Do you possibly know someone in Germany who could buy it for you and send it?

DHL takes 39,- bucks for shipping that from Germany to USA.

No, but that's all right. If I drank it every day, it wouldn't be as special as it is.

Thanks Jack.

Still open for debate but decided last night IF I decide to keep only one Irish Single Malt this one loses out.

 

[Blackthorn]

Yeah, I"ve never tried that one

It's good but lacks the Peat the Scot in me wants. I haven't found any Irish to beat Connemara yet.

I plan to check the two liquor stores I frequent first but if they don't have Glendalough, the Celtic Ranch says they carry it. Their price will probably be above normal retail.

The Whiskey Snug at The Celtic Ranch

"The Whiskey Snug carries the Midwest region’s largest selection of Irish Whiskeys, Single Malt Scotches, unusual bourbons, ryes and an extensive offering of international spirits. You can purchase samples by the shot or take home a bottle to enjoy."

I totally agree, Jack.

OK, thanks for this heads up. I'll wait until we see if our area burns first, hoping for an end to all this lightning. I don't want to order something and then have it arrive to a vacant lot.

I hope your home is not in the path of the flames! I did check store #1 today & they don't stock Glendalough. I'll check store #2 & the Celtic Ranch in the next couple of days. We're in for a hot wk so don't know when it will be.

Picked up another bottle of Connemara Original Peated, thought about moving up to the 12 but didn't.

At least written with „e“; some Yeehaw-Schnaps for today’s dessert...

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Blackthorn,
I keep forgetting to update this but neither of the two good liquor stores I frequent carry Glendalough. I have not made it to Celtic Ranch yet but hope to get there soon.

Hope the wildfires no longer pose any danger to your home & family.

Connemara is alright too though nothing spectacular.

It might not be spectacular, but at $45 a bottle, it is more than acceptable. It's a single malt, filtered through peat, and very moorish it is too.

 

[Turnip]

Wow, massive price tag......but a nice drink!

On our trip to Scotland last autumn we never made it to Islay....to my regret. When it is safe (ish) to fly again we are back to Scotland to pick up the distilleries we missed. I love Islay malts and may spend a week on the island. Not a fan of big smoke, my fave is the Bowmore 18 and second is the Lagavallan Distillers Edition.....a decent amount of peat but doesn't smack you in the mouth.
