Weekly Whisky Podcast: Yellow Spot


It's the Weekly Whisky's birthday! We got ourselves some Yellow Spot, which is probably the fanciest Irish whiskey we've ever had. Can it live up the the hype?

Bar Brief: The Dingle Whiskey Bar at Fraunces Tavern


The Dingle Whiskey Bar at Fraunces Tavern is a great place to sit by the fire with friends and take in some history while enjoying a dram. It is a stop on both the American Whiskey Trail and the New York Freedom Trail.

It's St Patrick's Day!


Get your St Patrick's Day started right by listening to our Redbreast Irish Whiskey podcast and remembering the most important facts about Ireland's patron saint:

  • He may have actually been two different people, confused into one by history.
  • Whiskey didn't appear in Ireland until about 1000 years after St Patrick.
  • While there was beer in Ireland when St Patrick was alive, it's unlikely that he ever drank green beer.
  • He is not actually a papally canonized saint! Weird.

You notice two bottles near each other and note that one proclaims itself “whisky” while the other offers “whiskey."

CALM DOWN. Have another drink, and breathe. There...feel better? Ok, good. We're here to help.
