The Temple Bar in Dublin

Hi Everybody and Welcome to Best Shot Whisky Reviews!

Today I received a short report from our special Dutch Whisky Correspondent Jan Bronkhorst. Jan and his wife Joke have spend a long weekend in Dublin and could not resist a visit to The Temple Bar. Here is Jan's report:

Visit to the Temple Bar in Dublin, a “must” for whisky lovers!

During our city trip to Dublin, Ireland, we of course paid a visit to the Temple Bar.
This most famous pub in Ireland is located in the Temple Bar District near the River Liffey.
Always loaded with music - and whisky friends and everyone drinks a Guinness or an Irish Whiskey.
The Temple Bar has the largest whisky drinking collection in Ireland with 450 bottles.

And don’t forget to visit the Temple Bar during your stay in Dublin!

Thanks Jan, certainly a place well worth the visit! 

Buying a full bottle or try a sample first.

I'm sure that most of you will have confronted this question on a regular basis. Because whisky is expensive and the last thing you want is to spend a lot of money on a whisky you don't really care for after having opened the bottle. On the other hand buying a full bottle of whisky (Nice bottle, Nice Packaging, Nice Presentation) is one of life's great  pleasures. So why not try to combine the Best of Both Worlds as the late Robert Palmer sung back in 1978.

There are great Nosing and Tasting kits out there right now. Special sets that cover a specific area like Speyside or Islay. Or you can make the combination you like the best. Have a look at this website www.nosingtasting.com  and discover your favourite whiskies! And then go out and get that full bottle! Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Today's Whisky Tasting Session.

Tonight I will nose and taste The Balvenie Signature 12 Years, a Single Malt from Speyside that matured in three different wood types - Sherry, First Fill Bourbon and Refill casks and was then married together by The Balvenie's Malt Master David Stewart. Look forward to it. 

From a very hot and humid Sao Paulo I wish you all a very nice weekend! Thanks for visiting the site today. See you all back tomorrow for the Tasting Notes of The Balvenie Signature!

Cheers!

Jan
