Mukkul

Mukkul, my friend from seattle who is currently working in copenhagen visited over the weekend. We ventured into a few new areas of dublin that i had not visited prior...finding a cool market, which i will return to to have some local oysters and cheese. The highlight, from a touristic standpoint, was our visit to the Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery. "Old" means it's no longer produced there but in Cork (another town in ireland). It was still interesting (although the Jack Daniels tour in Lynchburg Tennessee is way better) and ended with Mukkul being selected to taste-test Jameson whiskey verses 4 others. Being a true north american, he opted for JD. The mushy movie that starts the tour is also a good laugh...typical early 90's short film with cheesy music and scenes of ireland...lines included "Irish whiskey goes back to the beginning of time" and "Irish Whiskey is the story of Ireland".
