Ireland's appeal is rooted in its culture from trad music whose echoes bring sleepy coastal towns alive at night to the thriving local and sustainable agriculture found in almost every dish- and every drink. We began our trip, as most traveler's do, in Ireland's famous capitol, due to being home to Ireland's busiest airport, Dublin. The sky hung low in this hangover city, filled with tourists, home to Guinness, and the guy who invented the crossword puzzle- the locals won't let you forget it.
The tour outlined the history of Irish whiskey, in relation to the scotch industry, and ended with a tasting of their signature gin and whiskey. This small scale distillery is in high demand in Ireland, so you'd be lucky to find a bottle in shop or at bar. On a more positive note, the Dingle Gin can be found in Murphy's Dingle Gin ice cream, just down the road.
Of course, we made other great memories throughout the trip, and it was easy to make them in Ireland, an unforgettably magnificent country.
