Um...Teelings in a bottle? A *glass* bottle? I dunno.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

They do a Single Grain and a Single Malt, each progressively pricier. And they do a Brabazon but good luck finding it. I think that's a variation of their top shelf which is only available at the distillery. You get a taste of it if you take the higher priced tour. They'll bottle one for you there and make a special dated label but it was several bills, way past the budget of fencing masters and Kung Fu publishers. I prefer the Grain but I'm guessing your scotch palette will nudge you towards the Malt. You can find both if you look around. The Malt will set you back $60+, the Grain around $45+, last time I looked. I've been shopping at Total Wine & More since they opened an outlet near my office.

I've just been informed one of my friends owns a whiskey distillery in Ireland. In the burren. It's called Burren Prince. He said it would be similar to Laphroig.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

They are just putting it into casks now. Should be a couple of years. Plan accordingly.
Barley grown in the Burren. Casks made from Wicklow Oak, but coopered in Portugal because there aren't any Coopers in Ireland for the task.

So 2021 then? Isn't it a minimum of 3 years of distilling to legally call it whiskey in Ireland?

It's a date!
Although, I'm planning on going next fall. It was going to be this Spring but something has come up. Are you going this November again?

They called it one season with a mid-season break, but it's likely going to be January or February of next year when the 2nd part of Season 3 premieres. Hopefully they'll get renewed after that, and then film Season 4 in summer. And then invite me. That's unlikely because it's cheaper to film in the off season (winter). We'll see. Fingers crossed.

So I bought this bottle of Kavanaugh at a dive liquor store near our Macbeth house after nurse rainbow’s wake because it was all I could find nearby. It’s super cheap and rather nasty but I was staying there that’s night and needed something. It migrated to my dad’s liquor cabinet, which has a very odd collection. I’m there now - don’t have the stamina to make it back over the hill. Such an unpleasant Irish whiskey. But it’s still whiskey. I’m hoping it’ll help me sleep.

Really? I’ve been getting Powers regularly here but have yet to see an ad.
Luv Powers! 3 swallows! Ivor will hate on it because it’s smooth as treacle, but he likes it rough, rough like sea urchins for toilet paper. And peaty. Peaty like gnawing on compost. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy peat. But it’s like hoppy ipa, a hipster thang. John Lane is my fav Powers. A charming Dublin tender in that crazy whiskey bar turned me on to that. I GOT A SOLID 8 HOURS OF SLEEP JUST NOW. I got a bit of a headache but I’ll credit that Kavanaugh.
