REDBREAST Irish Whiskey

Coming soon to this post - Review of REDBREAST Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (note the 'e') from Middleton Distillery.

  No peat and fire here - just deep smoothness - so if you are a beginner and don't want another fiery draught then read the forth coming review and take heart that yes there are sensible Gaelic brews for the uninitiated that are utterly delightful.


The Millionare’s Club list documents spirits brands that sell over a million cases per year. 181 brands made the cut based on sales for 2011. New to the list is Glenfiddich, the only single malt Scotch whisky to sell over a million cases. Vodka and whiskey are the two biggest categories on the list, followed by rum in third place.

When you get to garden only a few short weeks in summer you learn to take advantage of the native flowering plants - heather, clover, dandelion, the little blue unnamed weed above and my favorite the Mallow plant which blooms in white and a pale pinkish lavender.  I carefully mow around and leave the 'sport' to flourish and seed and if all goes well a few carefully transplanted mallows will take and eventually instead of a spotted lawn I am gradually getting a lovely grouping in the center front yard - the daisys I spare down the lane until they go too bedraggled and then down they go till the following year.  So far the Mallows continue to live throughout the summer without fear of the awesome power mower.

Methane?

There are various causes for these bubbles in the sand at the beach but for these bubbles at the marsh run-off near the far end of Point Michaud Beach I don't think I'm far from correct in my posting of Methane - and the marshy odor so familiar to many gives further credence to the title.
