I started this page to share pictures of my growing collection of American whiskies and to show whiskey drinkers of Ireland that there's more to bourbon than Jim Beam white label. 3 years later today and I think we're definitely getting somewhere!👌 As such I'm having a celebratory dram of the bourbon that got me into bourbon in the first place, Wild Turkey 101 8 year old😎 Sure it wasn't this exact bottle or the same year but Wild Turkey 101 8 was my gateway into bourbon and this 1984 101 8 is one of my favourite bottles of special ocassion bourbon I've ever had the pleasure of drinking😍 Here's to many more years of sharing my love of American whiskey with all my amazing followers!

Monday hasn't been kind to me but with less than a week to go before I fly out for Kentucky it's hard to care about trivial things!👌 Tonight I'm having some 2016 10 year old Michter's Single Barrel Bourbon and Single Barrel Rye and both are amazing🥃😍 I can't wait to see what the 2018 releases taste like and hopefully pick some up whilst I'm in Kentucky 💪 Happy #michtersmonday everyone!🔥Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #monday #mondaybluesnomore #itsallaboutthewhiskey #singlebarrel #ryewhiskey #amazing #cantwait #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger #spiritstwosday

With Flu Season doing the rounds again I'm not taking any chances👌😎 What you see here is both a preventative and a medicinal Whiskey Sour with plenty of fresh lemon juice and some @gerryswinesspirits7246 Eagle Rare Single Barrel to make sure I'm covered on all bases💪 What's your favourite whiskey-based flu preventative measure/ treatment?🤔Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #sundayfunday #sunday #storepicksunday #medicine #medicinal #f #you #flu #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger #weekend

Something different for #singlebarrel Saturday👌 Although JD was my first taste of American whiskey, JD Single Barrel was my first taste of a premium American whiskey😎 Before I found the Single Barrel I didn't know there was anything outside of JD black label and Jim Beam white label because Ireland's American whiskey market was non-existent at the time🤷♂️ Needless to say it opened the door to where I am today and as such I like to keep an open bottle of it in my collection at all times. This particular bottle was picked by Irish supermarket chain Supervalu and may just be the first barrel pick of an American whiskey in Ireland that's available through a retail store. I think it's a great barrel of JD Single Barrel with a nose featuring deep caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, baking spices, plenty of bananas, and a palate with tonnes of sweet dark cherries covered in brown sugar caramel, dark chocolate, and earthy baking spices. It's not a bourbon but it tastes so good I don't care! Hell I don't even know if I'd be able to pick it out from a blind line-up it tastes so close to a good bottle of Old Forested 🤷♂️ (controversial, I know😂) Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #saturday #singlebarrelsaturday #sunset #storepick #bourbon #beginnings #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

Another Turkey Thursday spent with my now 3 bottles of Russel's Reserve Single Barrel picks and there's no regrets on this side!😍 As someone that loves Wild Turkey 101 8 these are an absolute no-brainer, they're always around 10 years old, 110 proof, and NCF - now that's some next level Wild Turkey bourbon!👌🦃 Also helps to know a killer set of palates chose these barrels and there's some funky stickers on the backs to match😎 Cheers!

Sipping on some Smooth Ambler 10 year old this Whiskey Wednesday and just reminded all over again of how solid this line was😍 There's just so much going on with that classic low rye MGP profile that can't be beat💪 I'm so happy I have a backup bottle of this bunkered away because this is really going to be missed when it's finished!😕 Looking forward to what Smooth Ambler have coming down the line in the future👌Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #whiskeywednesday #lights #humpday #wednesday #solid #10yo #colorful #drinkcraft #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

I know tomorrow is #wellerwednesday but today at 9.30 GMT myself and @spiritspeople will be discussing Poor Man's Pappy which is a homemade blend of Weller 12 and Old Weller Antique👌 Mine was blended in 2016 from these two old label Weller bottles and did surprisingly well in a blind taste test featuring two Van Winkle bourbons.

Still fighting against the wintery cold but this time I've gone with a single barrel rye that takes no prisoners. This 10 year old Smooth Ambler Limited Edition Single Barrel rye is one of the best rye whiskies I've ever tasted and is packed with MGP rye goodness. The 11 won't make it to the UK unfortunately but I was beyond lucky to get a bottle of the 10 last year after coming short at every turn😍 Happy #singlebarrelsaturday everyone and stay warm out there! 👍🥃🔥 Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #cold #saturday #barrelproof #ryewhiskey #rye #sunset #singlebarrel #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger #drinkcraft

Good to see @bourbon_paddy enjoying a Four Roses Friday. What you saying?? 🥃 💖 🌹 ・・・ I opened this bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel last week for #fourrosesfriday and I've already circled back to it. The snow may be gone here but the cold and frost persists so a solid 100 proof bourbon like this is definitely what the doctor called for!👌🔥🌹🌹🌹🌹 Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #friday #cold #tgif #sunrise #singlebarrel #colorful #colorful #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

Michter's opened their Fort Nelson Distillery today on Whiskey Row so to celebrate I'm having a dram of Michter's bourbon and listening to @michtersmasterdistiller Pam Heilmann and @michtersmasterofmaturation Andrea Wilson talk all things Michter's on today's newest Bourbon Pursuit podcast episode👌 Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #thirstythursday #celebration #new #distillery #podcast #binge #thursday #colorful #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

Being snowed in for the day isn't so bad when it's only 3 inches of snow.👌 No road gritting or snow clearing where we live so I could either risk wrecking my car or kick back for the day until the roads clear. My only task now is to keep warm and I can think of a few barrel proof pours to help with that!🔥What would you start with?🤔🥃❄ Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #whiskeywednesday #first #snow #snowedin #nowork #letitsnow #barrelproof #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

Seriously considering cracking these two Smooth Ambler Old Scout 107 proof single barrels American whiskies tonight!👌 On the left is the bottle released in the UK this time last year, on the right is a barrel picked by @binnysbev that I picked up in Chicago not too long after. I'd love to know more about these single barrels and what's in the blend - anyone have any good info or have tried some of these?🤔 Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #tuesdayboozeday #spiritstwosday #singlebarrel #americanwhiskey #107 #tuesday #drinkcraft #westvirginia #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

Today is a very special Michter's Monday! Not only am I sipping on this killer 2016 Michter's 10 bourbon but in 3 week's time I'll be joining Michter's in Louisville Kentucky for 3 days to tour their new Fort Nelson facility and to meet the awesome people behind the brand. To say this is a trip of a lifetime is an understatement and I honestly can't wait😍 I will of course be visiting other distilleries during my free time so any suggestions for distilleries, bars, and liquor stores to check out would be greatly appreciated! Also any Louisville based whiskey people who'd like to hang out hit me up 😉👍🥃 Cheers and happy Monday!👌 Follow for daily pics and weekly reviews!! #michtersmonday #mondaybluesnomore #cantwait #makeitmichters #singlebarrel #killer #colorful #delicious #irishbourbonlovers #greatview #picoftheday #bourbonporn #bourbon #bourboncollection #whiskeylife #whiskey #instadrink #drinkporn #drink #instabourbon #whiskeygram #dram #whiskeytime #drinkwhiskey #ireland #instalove #specialreserve #irishblogger

Spending #singlebarrelsaturday night with this 2013 EH Taylor Single Barrel and I couldn't be happier!😍 Such a great pour that hits all those classic EH Taylor notes and reminds me that even though it's not a limited release Taylor, it's still very solid.
