“Give an Irishman lager for a month, and he’s a dead man. An Irishman is lined with copper, and the beer corrodes it. But whiskey polishes the copper and is the saving of him.”
— Mark Twain

A heck of a pour for a bottle kill. Glendronach 18 Allardice is one of my all time favorite scotches and I have been avoiding finishing the bottle, but alas, all good things must come to an end. @glendronach #whisky #whiskylife #whiskygram #instawh

We arrived at the local watering hole Birds of a Feather. At first glance the front of the building in the dark looked unassuming but upon further inspection was more old world and historic. It was smack-dab in the middle of the week and upon swinging open the door we were greeted by all the local regulars.
