Today is when the  unicorn’s share is drunk.

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, when many pubs in North America serve green beer .

IRISH WHISKEY

Paddy Old Irish whiskey,  Ireland’s softest whiskey. Light and straightforward, with hints of sherried fruit and apples.

Powers Gold Label Irish whiskey,  Ireland’s bestseller since first bottled in 1894. A glorious honeyed sweetness and dry, peppery spice.

Bushmills Black Bush Irish whiskey: An excellent whiskey, a good portion of which is matured in Oloroso sherry casks. Malty and nutty sherry notes lead to a pleasant, sweet palate.

Red Breast 12-Year-Old Pure Pot Still Irish whiskey: Aged in sherry and bourbon casks, this is a delightful, unblended whiskey, full-flavoured, but not overpowering.

Connemara Peated Single-Malt Irish whiskey, $64.49: A smooth whiskey, with heather, floral notes and oak on the nose and peat and honey in the full-flavoured palate.

Jamieson Limited Reserve 18-Year-Old, $104.99: Only the best casks are used to make this deluxe whiskey, which is aged in sherry casks for a minimum of 18 years. Sherry, spice and toffee on the nose with a mellow, smooth palate with complex notes of fudge, wood, leather, a sherry nuttiness and vanilla.

Have Fun, and please drink responsibly.
