    THE Dylan WHISKY BAR Menu 5 John Street • Kilkenny • Ireland Telephone: 056 77 21616 www.thedylanwhiskybar.com “A whiskey is the creation of something harmonious, balanced and fundamentally social... It brings together the mastery of the distilling process with the mystery of its humble ingredients. It is this indefinable nature that makes a Premium Whiskey far more than the sum of its parts.” The Jameson Masters Midleton distillery and irish Whiskey Midleton Distillery, located in County Cork, is the largest distillery in Ireland. • It is a diverse distillery in that it can produce a wide variety of whiskey types including Single Pot Still and Grain Irish Whiskey. • The location of Midleton Distillery is perfect, with the abundance of quality barley grown locally in the rich soils of east Cork and the plentiful supply of fresh water from the Dungourney river running through the distillery. • The term ‘Single Distillery’ refers to the practice of conducting the entire whiskey production process within the confines of one distillery. • Midleton Distillery is also unique as the location where the craft of traditional Irish ‘Single Pot Still’ Whiskey distillation has been protected, nurtured and perfected for almost 200 years. • Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is triple distilled from a mash of malted and unmalted barley in large copper pot stills. • The Midleton distillers also produce grain whiskey which is triple distilled from a mash of maize and malt in column stills. • Grain whiskey is blended with pot still whiskey to produce some of the distillery’s most famous brands including Jameson and the Jameson Reserves.

    THE RANKING OF THE WORLD’S MILLION-CASE SPIRITS BRANDS 2019 001 Cover DI MILLIONAIRES 2019 FINAL.indd 1 04/06/2019 14:58 The millionaires’ JUNE 2019 DRINKSINT.COM 3 COMMENT The volume game Regardless of Trump’s tariff wars, Brexit and other socio-economic issues, the spirits industry is thriving. And once again The Millionaires’ Club bears witness to the movements of million-case spirits brands all over the globe. Ninety-two of the 153 millionaire brands listed in the 2019 supplement demonstrate an increase in volumes, so the industry shows no signs of slowing down. The biggest volume players are always from Asia due to the huge populations and brand loyalty in major markets, with soju’s Jinro now boasting 87m cases. But it’s also been fascinating to see Diageo’s Indian brandy Men’s Club virtually double in growth despite it showing decline over the previous four years. Looking at Europe, Martell has had a great year. A huge 18% growth shows how cognac is returning to its former glory in terms of international sales and the same can almost be said for vodka in the US as it appears the market is no longer in free-fall, with many of the big players returning to growth. It’s possible that volume sales will dwindle in importance as future generations of consumers continue to drink less but better – quality over quantity. The assets may shrink and the players may change, but this game of volumes isn’t going to end any time soon.

  • Single Malts
    Single Malts Single malt whiskey is distilled from 100% malted barley in a traditional copper pot still by a single distillery. Contrary to popular belief, single malts can be double or triple-distilled. Like the other three types, it isn’t Irish whiskey unless it was aged for at least 3 years and a day within the borders of Ireland. A Drop Of The Irish 8 yr.

Matured predominately in bourbon casks, this version of Bushmills will go toe to toe with 8.5 any single malt of the Scottish variety. The nose of this whiskey has an orchard smell with some added vanilla and copper. Malt, walnut, and citrus flavours bring you to a soft finish of taffy and oak. ABV. 40 Bushmills 16 yr. Matured in three woods, this version was aged in sherry, bourbon, and port wine casks. 12 The tinge of ruby redness in colour hints at the distinct notes of juicy fruit, nuts, and spice that are destined to meet your senses. ABV. 40 Bushmills 12 yr. Matured predominately in sherry casks, this 12 to 14-year-old whiskey carries tones of 18 Distillery Reserve fruit, malt, and honey from start to finish.

  • Dr. William Moran
    Dr. William Moran Dr. William Moran is remembered by the people of Tullamore with affection and respect. To many parishioners he was seen as a character and there are few of the older parishioners who have not some humorous story to relate concerning him. Dr. Moran came to Tullamore from Trim in October 1949 where he had been parish priest. He was a native of Castletowngeoghegan near Tullamore and was educated at St. Finian’s (Navan) and Maynooth College where he was ordained in 1910. He received a doctorate in divinity in 1913 and after four years as a curate in Mullingar and Collins town he was appointed professor of dogmatic theology in Maynooth in 1917. In 1932 he became prefect of the Dunboyne establishment and librarian in 1932. From there he moved to Trim and in 1949 to Tullamore. Although a competent parish administrator who gave his full support to the local schools building programme of the 1950s, Dr. Moran was happiest among his books and produced a number of books and pamphlets on religious topics including his well known catechism. He also published a number of historical articles including this booklet on the history of Tullamore in 1962. But if Dr. Moran was interested in the past he was also a forward thinking practical man. He seemed to take a special delight in running the annual Corpus Christi procession from the organ gallery of the church with the ‘Tannoy’ system he purchased in 1951. With this system Dr. Moran could broadcast a Maynooth choir for the procession together with a taped recording of his own sermon while he walked around the church and listened, presumably, admiringly, to the whole event.
