We went to Cork, Ireland for a weekend in September for my birthday. We saw the Jameson Distillery and got to sample lots of Whiskey. It was about 10:30 in the morning and we weren't quite ready for it but what can you do if you only have two days. We also went to see Blarney Castle which is famous for having the Blarney Stone. Legend has it that if you lean backwards over the edge and kiss the stone you will be gifted with the gift of gab. Apparently Churchill did it, as have we. I can't say that my persuasive writing has improved though.
These Barrels show the different stages the whiskey goes through when it ages.
This reminded me of the painting by Millais of Ophelia
