It evidently is also readilly available in Dublin, but we did not get close to that side of the country, so we grabbed it when we saw the opportunity. wink

Well, rats. Not going to Dublin either. Jim may have to just settle for the Crested Ten and have the Green Spot to look forward to. But we'll try.

Judy,

I can't recall if you will be in the area but Dicey Rielly's in Ballyshannon might be a good place to look for Green Spot. In Galway, down in Eyre Square, ask for The Whiskey Shop and check in with them. If they don't have it, they will know where to send you. You can't miss it as it is trimmed in bright green. If memory serves, it is not too far from McDonagh's Dish & Chips. You can always ask in any of the shops, they will point you in the right direction.

Slan Beo,

Thanks, Bit, we will be going right through Ballyshannon after Belleek. Not sure if we'll be in Eyre Square when in the Galway area but I'm putting this info in my notes. This is making my poor unsuspecting husband sound like an Irish whiskey addict! All this is meant to be just a pleasant little surprise for him. It'll be a good story to tell him if I'm successful, or even if I'm not.

Judy,

Addict, no certainly not just a man with good sense for finer things, which is why he has you! wink

As a lady who loves a glass of fine whiskey herself, I am only to glad to aid you in your search! You will love Dicey's. It not only an off license but also a pub in its own right.

Slan Beo,

Bit

Making my list of things to get so here's a question. We are flying into Shannon and out of Dublin, flight going out is at 10:30 am. I've never shopped at duty free, are they open early enough for us to pick up some of the recommended whiskeys before the flight? thanks!

raleigh,

The duty free shops will be open and waiting for your credit card!

Green Spot is in the Dingle Pub's off license for about 41 Euros. It is just up the street from Small Bridge and next door to the Dingle Pub. Drop into the music store a bit up from that around 5:30 for an impromptu music session by a couple of local artists--although the very good bodhran player is actually from France!
