Michael Collins

I was out the other night, my friend John had a bottle of whiskey. Michael Collins whiskey in fact, since I'm really not that familiar with alcoholic beverages just yet... I was like "Hm, Michael Collins, that sounds awfully familiar"
Then it dawned on me, he was an Irish Hero fighting for Ireland independence, founding the IRA being apart of the civil war then falling to his death in 1922.
After rembering that I made of point of it to not just allow my friends to enjoy the Irish whiskey but also inform them of who the great Michael Collins really was and how his contributions helped make the Ireland today...
Also apparently Michael Collins in that last independent distillery left in Ireland...Independent being the key word since there are plenty around, the Famed James Jameson.
Here's My Tribute to that:


I probably talked about Ireland that night with about 4 different people, though I left my Tin Whistle in the car on this night unlike most nights.
