The other Irish drink

Of course no visit to Ireland would be complete, and indeed is required by Irish law, without a visit to the Guinese brewery. It also boasts the tallest building in Dublin and the view from the bar at the top really does show how flat Dublin is. Apparently it's a city ordinance that nothing can be greater than 60m, with the exception of the Guinness brewery. Beer needs an unobstructed view to brew properly.

Visited Jameson's Distillery

I could hardly come to Dublin and not visit the old Jameson distillery, even if Jameson is no longer made here.

An interesting visit that cumulated in a whiskey tasting comparing Jameson, "a leading Scotch" (Johnny Walker Black) and an "American Bourbon" (Jack Daniels).

The coughing when people tried the Johnny Walker was amusing.

Finally they offered us a nice drink of Jameson at the end of the tour, which of course I felt obligated to take them up on (it would be rude not too!)

Jameson: Smooth, honey.
