Killowen 5 Year Batch 01 "Signature Rum and Raisin Inspired"

Review by: DemiTastes Thanks to my friend and Irish Whiskey lover, The Pawn, for this sample. (Bottle photo borrowed from The Pawn.) Killowen is a pretty new Irish distillery located just across the Carlingford Lough from the County Louth, which is home of the Cooley Distillery. They value producing whiskey with an authenticity tied to old style traditional production, including poitin as well…

A Toast to Popularity: Craft Beer and Whiskey

If you've stepped into a bar or restaurant lately, chances are you've noticed that craft beer and whiskey are riding a wave of popularity. But why? What is it about these drinks that have made them so popular? Let's take a look at a few possible explanations.

The Rise of Craft Beer

Craft beer has seen a surge in popularity in recent years for a number of reasons.

 First- there has been a growing trend of people wanting to support local businesses. As more and more people have become aware of the importance of buying local, they have been seeking out local breweries and taprooms.

Second- there has been a movement toward more health-conscious eating and drinking. Whereas Calorie-packed light beers were once all the rage, people are now looking for options that are lower in sugar and carbs. Fortunately, many craft breweries offer beers that fit this bill.

Finally- as millennials have come of age, they have developed a taste for finer things. While their parents might have been content to drink mass-produced light beer, millennials are seeking out drinks with more flavor and personality. And what could be more flavorful or personality-filled than a locally brewed craft beer?

The Revival of Whiskey

Whiskey, like craft beer, has also enjoyed something of a revival in recent years. In part, this can be attributed to the same factors that have boosted craft beer's popularity. More people are interested in supporting local businesses, eating and drinking healthfully, and seeking out quality over quantity.

In addition, whiskey has benefited from an increase in global trade. As more countries have begun producing their own whiskeys, the variety of available options has increased exponentially. No longer is whiskey just something that comes from Scotland or Ireland—it can now come from Taiwan, Japan, India, and beyond. This has allowed whiskey lovers to explore new tastes and find new favorites.

Teeling 18 Year Single Malt Madeira Cask Finish

Review by: Wryan 2020 Irish Single Malt Binny’s Selection Bottle splits are supposed to alleviate FOMO but there are times when it does exactly the opposite.

It certainly helps to curb those shopping endorphins when you completely forget about that sample for over a year! Please excuse me for this oh so…

 Christmas Gift Guide

Sheridans Coffee Layered Liquor

It is uniquely bottled, consisting of two separate sections, separated by glass, but fused together. One section is filled with a black liqueur, consisting of coffee and whiskey flavors, the other is filled with a white liqueur of milk white chocolate.

When pouring into a lowball glass, the white liqueur should be gently floated on top of the black liqueur.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Once served in a glass, liquor exhales vanilla, rich chocolate, and toffee.

Palate: The attack is surprisingly soft and the creamy palate is rich, full of complimentary flavors of cream, coffee, chocolate, the lingering finish has notes of nuts and toasted hazelnuts.

Enjoy: Serve in a Rocks glass or tumbler by first pouring in the black liqueur.

 Navan Vanilla Cognac Grand Marnier French Liqueur

Fine French cognac with a touch of natural vanilla from Madagascar Made by the House of Grand Marnier's passion for combining cognac with pure, natural flavors, Navan is a 40% Alc/vol liqueur, an ideal balance between the complexity of cognac and the smoothness of natural vanilla.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Clear, golden yellow.

Aroma: Aromatic vanilla extract and Eaux de vie with butter pastry and faint coffee bean.

Taste: The surprisingly spicy palate, with pronounced vanilla flat alcoholic cream soda with a hint of orange zest and stewed black English breakfast tea.

Aftertaste: Long concentrated vanilla fudge with lingering chili spice-like heat.

Overall: Not the mild-mannered, easy McDonald’s-style milkshake vanilla flavor you might expect to find in lesser vanilla liqueurs.

 Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Years

The Macallan's legendary Sherry Oak 18-Year-Old, part of a range that celebrates the marriage of its rich spirit with the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks. In this case, the result of ageing Macallan's spirit solely in sherry casks for 18 years is a full-bodied palate of mature oak, ginger and raisin flavors is complimented by a light mahogany natural color.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Dried fruits and ginger with hints of vanilla and cinnamon.

Taste: Soft and rich, with hints of spice, clove, orange and toasted mature oak.

Finish: Full and lingering with dried fruits, ginger and orange zest.

 Speyburn Single Malt 10 Years

Pretty much the only expression of Speyburn on the market until 2008. The 10-year-old may now have stable mates but it still keeps its place as the easy drinking center of the range. Speyburn continues to gather quiet momentum in the wake of updated packaging and 2012's shock World Whisky Award win for the 25-year-old.

A global favorite, Speyburn 10 years old is ever the crowd-pleaser.

Tasting Notes:

Color: Pale gold with amber highlights.

Nose: Fresh, clean with a hint of lemon.

Taste: Medium bodied with hints of toffee & butterscotch and a long, sweet finish.

 Old Monk Supreme Xxx Rum

Old Monk Supreme XXX Very Old Vatted Rum– Iconic Vatted Indian Dark Rum, launched 19 December 1954. The Rum is blended and aged for a minimum of 7 years and is dark in color with a distinct vanilla flavor. Their Rum selection includes five different Old Monk expressions. This vanilla-forward iconic vatted dark rum is on. The market since 1954 and you’d be hard-pressed to find a commercial for it.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Dark brown

Nose: Sugary nose with notes of caramel, toffee, and brown sugar.

Taste: Unmistakable Old Monk palate with notes translating from the nose: caramel, toffee, and brown sugar, with the addition of woody spice, tobacco, and black pepper.

Finish: Lingering finish with notes of vanilla, tobacco, and brown sugar.

 Captain Morgan Spiced Rum

Smooth and medium bodied, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is a secret blend of Caribbean rums. Its subtle notes of vanilla and caramel give classic rum cocktails a distinctive, flavorful finish.

Deliciously different and exceptionally smooth, it has a character as unforgettable as The Captain himself! It is the perfect mix with Cola – the secret recipe of spices blends with the Cola to make a legendary mix. So, grab a bottle of Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold Rum, raise a leg, and toast to the adventure to be had. Drink responsibly, Captain's Orders! Enjoy!

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Medium Amber

Nose: The aroma is thick with vanilla and cinnamon notes over a dash of menthol and black pepper.

Taste: The flavors build upon the aroma with plenty of turbinado sugar and molasses, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla.

Finish: The finish is medium-length with loads of baking spices.

 Bushmills 10 Yr Old Irish Whiskey

A superb 10-year-old Irish single malt whiskey and winner of Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey at the 2007 World Whiskies Awards. Wonderfully fruit-forward, with a good helping of vanilla and warming oaky spices in support.

Tasting Note:

Nose: Cooked banana and tropical fruit.

Palate: Guava, cantaloupe melon, over-ripe white peach, vanilla and peels.

Finish: Floral, spicy finish.

Overall: Add a drop of water and it tastes just like nectarine chunks in low fat yoghurt!

Serving: Given its subtlety and smoothness, this needs no water to lighten it or open it up, though a large ice cube on a hot day might not go amiss.

A/N: My first Ikevil fic! I loved Harry's route and figured why not ease into writing him by starting with a kiss 💋

Harrison x Reader

You might think that if you found a man reading by firelight, settled into an expensive leather Ottoman the color of burnished copper, he would be drinking whiskey. Or maybe wine. A rich Irish single malt or perhaps layered, velvety Merlot.

But not your Harry.

He’s drinking strawberry milk. 

The sight of it has laughter bubbling out of you, a soft, almost musical sound and he looks up, his wintergreen eyes suddenly bright as he watches you set down your evening clutch and approach him. The missive he was reading slips from his long fingers, flutters down onto the thick burgundy carpet. There are other, far more important matters that require his attention now.

He reaches for you, strong hands gripping the line of your waist as you boldly straddle his lap, your voluminous maroon skirt spreading across him like a blossoming flower. His smile is slow and unhurried when you lean down, touching your forehead to his. You lock your fingers behind his neck, breathing in the familiar, tangy scent of mint.

“They kept you out far too late,” he murmurs, his voice enveloping you like the softest of cashmere.

“I’m here now,” you answer, falling into the pastel tenderness of his gaze, struck for the hundredth time by just how beautiful he is. You glance over at the glass of pale pink milk he’s set down on the end table. “How’s your nightcap?” You’re teasing him and he loves it.

Gently pulling you closer, his eyes flutter closed like a butterfly closing its brilliant wings. “C’mere and have a taste.”

His lips are sweet, like strawberries kissed by summer sunshine. His palms slide down to feel the curve of your hip through your skirt, his grip tightening, pulling you closer still. Your hands unlock and you wrap both arms fully around him, melting into the hard planes of his body. He kisses you slowly, as if he has all the time in the world, a hedonist indulging himself in the most heady of pleasures. He savors each kiss, languid and almost lazy in the movement of his lips, the slide of his tongue against yours. 

“Harry…” His name, that cherished and precious word, is a whisper, a twinkle of starlight in the night. Twin tendrils of the softest affection and the brightest desire are twined around it. He drops his head, burying his face into the warm curve of your neck, pressing his lips against the place where your heart is drumming just for him. He doesn’t need to open his eyes because in your arms, there is nothing but truth. He feels it in the way your fingers push their way through his tawny hair. He hears it in the stuttering breath that escapes you. He tastes it on your lips and smells it on your skin.

He rises, effortlessly lifting you into his arms, holding you close against his chest as his long legs swallow the distance to your bedroom. You cling to him, press a kiss to his cheek as he carries you, not caring where you’re going. 

After all, in his arms, you are always home.

Fighting 69TH, single malt Irish whiskey. A dollar from ever bottle sold is donated to support veterans and dependents in need of the famed 69TH Infantry REG, part of the NY National Guard. The unit first saw action in the Civil War where the name "Fighting 69TH' was bestowed upon the unit by no less than Robert E Lee, who recognized talent even when it belonged to the foe. Later members of the unit included "Wild Bill" Donovan, Joyce Kilmer, and of course Chaplain, Father Francis P Duffy. The 69TH continues to this day recently serving in the GWOT.

So if you enjoy Irish whiskey give it a try.
