Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond
-
@Mizmazzle The first time I went to Europe, I defeated jet lag by consuming an average of 9 shots of espresso per day. People of our advanced ages probably shouldn't attempt that, but it's a solid strategy if your heart can take it and if you tolerate caffeine well. Also, the NHS is pretty solid if you need to go to the hospital.

First half day in was a blast. Slept 12 hours. Day two awaits!
First time trying Red Breast. Won’t be the last! With some Bangers!

@Mizmazzle Beatiful! Enjoy and keep it coming.
-
@Mizmazzle awesome! Great pictures. If you see Redbreast Cask Strength on a menu, give it a try!
-
@Mizmazzle Ooooh. Redbreast! Great stuff. Cheers!

You’re 100% right,as Red Breast 12yr cask strength was my absolute all time favorite Irish Whiskey until I tried Blue Spot. If you come across any of that,don’t hesitate.

Went on a bit of a whiskey pub crawl yesterday and into the Devil Makes 3 show. Hell of a fun day and we got proper rowdy!!
Great suggestion @americanathreads for the Indigo and Cloth coffee.
Lotta whiskey yesterday

The Devil Makes 3 (excellent show and awesome crowd)
Things got a little hazy by the end of the night

We’re going to FX Buckley Steakhouse tonight and the Red Breast Cask Strength is on my radar!! Though I do find the pours round these parts to be a bit on the shy side…In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand.

@Mizmazzle I see that you already found some of the Green Spot. This is the Blue Spot that’s quite hard to find in the states. I was fortunate to get this bottle at MSRP of $129,but I’ve seen it as high as $279. Curious as to what it retails for over there.
-
@Mizmazzle love to see it, man! Indigo and Cloth is a vibe. Some great photos of some “proper” Irish activities
. FX Buckley’s is a great spot. Shame about the pours, hope the trend doesn’t continue..@Jett129 wow! $279. I bought a bottle when I was home at Christmas for the cabinet and it was €100. $279 is steep, pre-additional tariffs as well…

@Mizmazzle
awesome trip dude
love your travel report!! -
@Mizmazzle The pours are strictly measured in the UK. It's a bummer, but you'll just have to take good notes on what to buy when you get home, or start figuring out how to get as many bottles safely home as you can. Between the two of us, my wife and I brought back 4 bottles of whisky and 4 bottles of gin from Scotland a couple of years ago. The sturdy bags that IH tees come in, plus a cozy wrap of some clothes makes for a safe journey home for bottles. For our upcoming trip to france, we bought some inflatable bottle sleeves

We went out for one hell of a dinner for our last night in Dublin. The Irish beef is held in very high regard and did not disappoint…nor did the oysters…or the cask strength…
-
-
@Tago-Mago it’s sooo good…this one had a chimichurri on it that was really nice.
-
If you planned on trying some coddle whilst in Dublin I highly recommend Gravedigger's, a beautiful old pub with some great food and of course a perfect Guinness!

Yesterday marked the beginning of the road trip chapter out to the south west coast of Ireland. We landed in Ballyvaughn and we couldn’t be happier with this gorgeous little seaside village.
Pit stop in Athlone
Ballyvaughn!!!
Coolest little pub ever!!
Local oysters, shrimp, and mussels
Back home after a long day and night (love how light it stays until so late)

This Redbreast PX is the hands down winner thus far. I will be tracking this one down.In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
