I take my coffee like I take my men
Cold as ice and stuffed into a whiskey barrel.
Whiskey barrel aged coffee, a special edition roast from Corvus, is created in partnership with fellow local mavericks, Laws Whiskey House. The coffee is made not by placing brewed coffee into whiskey barrels, as one might think, but rather created through a dry infusion. This method, inspired by a once forgotten practice, requires wooden slats of Laws’ Four Grain Bourbon oak barrels to be placed inside a container of green coffee beans for six to eight weeks.
“It’s an old idea,” explained William Fandrick, a Corvus barista. “People would put coffee in barrels as they were shipping. Sometimes the barrels use to have whiskey in them… sometimes even sake. It’s just something that naturally happened as an accident. It had been lost but it’s slowly coming back.”
And if any of the killjoys in HR ask, it will explain why you reek of whiskey at 9am.

Thou shalt not play in god’s domain
But then Youghal is not god’s domain, for much like he did at Eboli, Christ also stopped at Mogeely. Probably to pick up some regato.
But I digress: Guinness Ice-cream FTW!!

I had been teaching yoga in the regular studios and gyms for a couple of years, and I needed something to play in my classes that that would fit me and my personality (my own record collection is mostly Babes in Toyland and Sepultura). It wasn’t so much about being ‘metal’, that just kind of naturally creeped in there because of who I am and what I’m into.

Apparently, that is not a dildo.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that amrut (amrta) emerged from Churning of the Ocean (samudra-manthana), which was highly important part of Hindu faith; and linking whisky to it was trivialization of the oldest and third largest religion of the worldwith a rich philosophical thought.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that amrut, which also found mention in oldest existing scripture of the mankind Rig-Veda, was the name given to the nectar of immortality, which bestowed deathlessness. Selling whisky named as Amrut was highly misleading and it hurt the feelings of the devotees. Moreover, amrut (amrit) is also blessed water in Sikhism and some denominations of Buddhism.
Symbols and concepts of any faith, larger or smaller, should not be mishandled, Rajan Zed noted.
I hope he never visits the gift shops in Lourdes.

Dalmunach Distillery in Speyside, Scotland. Took photos of it when I was over in May, only just found out its name, as it’s been officially opened today.
