Whoever gave Peter Mandelson a special bottling of The Tyrconnell single malt Irish whiskey probably didn't think it would show up in his birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein - www.itv.com/news/2025-09...

If I had to pinpoint where Powerscourt Distillery went wrong, I would say it was when they invited me to the launch.

Yet another distillery in trouble - a note on the Powerscourt Distillery website anouncing that they are in receivership powerscourtdistillery.com

Easy to talk about crisis in Irish whiskey and forget that they are not just numbers - real people are losing their jobs and their dreams are being crushed - this post brings it home how brutal things are www.linkedin.com/posts/christ...

Sounds like another distillery has pulled the shutters down - this time it's Dublin Liberties Distillery www.instagram.com/p/DJrBb20s_q...

Went back and read over a thing I wrote about the brand in 2019 and I appear to be possessed by the ghost of Koko from Yacht Rock tripledistilled.blog/2019/08/19/1...

They do a pack with three naggins in it, perfect to try new stuff without breaking the bank and given it's summer it's naggin season anyway

haha i did look into it! but seemed like there might be some work involved and i really dislike work. I installed a plugin on Twitter that shows who paid for a tick and who has the old legacy ticks, so mine still shows up there, even if I am the only one who can see it

Sorry but I cannot in good conscience follow a blinkered dogmatic faith-led institution where men in frocks shout about eternal damnation, so I'll follow Vatican News instead
