What is your Irish of choice? I don't drink a lot of Irish whiskey but I've been enjoying the Spot whiskies lately, particularly the Cask Strength Blue Spot. 🥃

The Sexton single malt. I like the peppery aftertaste. The short hexagonal bottle makes pouring it a bit of a challenge.😁

No drinks for me till late tonight, I am working in a tiger maple knife handle on a Japanese chefs knife.F6B036E1-2AAF-4409-97F4-854A10965AAF.jpeg

My personal favorite Irish whisky is a Bush Mills 21. Very smooth.
A fine whisky indeed! The Sexton is something I just happened to grab, I hope to buy several bottles of bottled in bond Oregon Spirits bourbon and I just ordered a couple cases of wine so I am cutting back on my alcohol spending for a bit.

I'm looking forward to checking out Oregon Spirits when I visit my daughter out in Bend next month.

Sexton is quite a decent pour for the money, 30 dollar range, and I generally don't like whiskies aged/finished in sherry casks.
You know your whiskeys, Spanish sherry casks. I saw it next to several flavors of Jamesons so I figured it was worth a try. I cannot hear about Bushmills without thinking of some Tom Waits lyrics...

Now the dogs are barking
And the taxicabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger in
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

I've often wondered what it would sound like if Tom Waits, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan tried to sing in harmony. Without the aid of the Autotune safety net.

Sometimes it is the lyrics and you hope for a decent cover by another performer.😄

I am working on a custom knife and cleaning some 45 records but a bit later I will set a chair in the sweet spot, turn on Year of the Cat, and get a photo of Finnegan listening. I have my shop stereo going but its the tube sound that gets his attention. :ksc75smile:

Very interesting to see what the word is on the Kara headphone out - could end the idea of building one of the Pass DIY kits - plus I had a huge thing in HS for a girl - Kara

Could be that the Schitt tour in the Boston area soon (10-21-23) will feature one - hint hint

Peppery finish makes me want to try it. Will have to accomplish that soon.
