October Golf Society Outing - Castlecomer.

Declan started the golf Society in 1986 in what was O'Loughlins Bar on Dublin Street 40 years ago this year. I'd like to sincerely thank John Farrell who was our captain this year. There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes every year. The events were very well organised with excellent prizes and great support from our sponsors as usual. We played some fabulous courses and had some great nights out. Well done John, your name will be on the board now for eternity!

Congratulations to Conor Whelan who came home in pole position for the Golfer of the Year table. The top four golfers were paired together last Saturday to dial up the pressure. Well done Conor, a well deserved winner.

Congratulations to Peter Curry who took home first prize for the outing in Castlecomer. Well done to all the winners on the day.

Finally just a huge thanks to all our sponsors again this year. Without the help of all our sponsors, the society would not be as successful as it has been over the past number of years.

I'm already looking forward to next year with Barry Geoghegan as our incoming captain! Roll on 2027.

Working with Daithí in W.D. O'Connell Wh***ey Merchants to create an exclusive blend for The Irishmans was a great experience. We have created a very approachable malt and grain blend, bottled at 43% abv. It has been very popular since its introduction earlier this year.

The bottles make great gifts and are available for purchase in a gift box.

Just in for the summer. Mediterranean Rosé from the Languedoc region in the South of France. Rosé w**es are very en trend at the moment!

Rosé w**es from this region are not like the stereotypical sickly sweet Rosé w**es of other parts of France. It is pale pink in colour and at 12.5% vol. its the ideal light floral w**e for this summer.This w**e is fruity with the following tasting notes.

🍓 Strawberry & raspberry
🍑 Light peach
🍊 Citrus edge (grapefruit/orange peel)
🌿 Possibly a slight herbal dryness

Served chilled, this is the perfect light summer w**e for the warm days to come.

Now selling by the glass in The Irishmans!

In 1986, 40 years ago, Declan and Liz bought Duggans Bar on Dublin Street. He opened O'Loughlins Bar in May 1986. It went on to be a landmark pub and the origin of many memories for our family and customers. In 2002, Declan and Liz then bought The Irishmans Bar. It has been an iconic Carlow pub for well over a century. To mark Declans 40 years as a publican in Carlow, we collaborated with ***ey to release an exclusive Irish Wh***ey.

Daithí O'Connell (a Carlowman) is an independent wh***ey merchant and bottler. Daithí was delighted to come on board and get this unique bottling completed. We worked together to create an Irish malt and grain blend that has been matured in Oak and Sherry casks, that works really well on its own or with a cube of ice. When we started this process, I wanted to create a wh***ey that was approachable to everyone. A wh***ey that you can enjoy in any situation. It is as delicious sitting at home in front of a fire as it is in a crowded bar with friends. With multiple cask finishes, this wh***ey oozes flavour.

Bottled at 43% this wh***ey is ideal as a sipping wh***ey chaser next to a pint of stout.

The fabulous 700ml bottles will make great gifts or will look great as part of a collection.

Available from today by the measure or as a full bottle for €65.
