On the longest day of the year, spare a thought for your historical smuggler. Short nights and good weather made the evasion of Revenue and the smuggling trade more difficult. Free Trading peaked in the winter months but dipped in the summer.

Civil War Day 7, tensions rise in #Waterford as IRA troops try to control communication from the city. The newspapers report how vessels are boarded and their Wireless equipment seized. The Civil War is steadily approaching the city.

Civil War Day 8, as IRA forces occupy the General Post Office on the Quay it is announced that postal services are suspended. Waterford is now completely cut off by Telephone, Telegram or Post.

Enjoying the expert hospitality in @Thepalacebar21 with a 'pint of plain and ball of malt' (as a previous patron was want to say). Managed to snag the hard to find Retronaut from @BlackDistillery which has been ony list for some time.

It's great to see DAFM insisting that Irish whiskey labels now say ‘Produced for’ when liquid is not produced in house by brand. Expect gnashing of teeth from shite brands and faux-distilleries. #irishwhiskey

Yesterday, two of our customers got hitched at the restaurant next door. Between ceremony and reception guests were invited to choose a book from our shop. We kept a running tab. An open book bar!
I present this to you in case you thought the world had run out of good ideas.

For Sale! Smuggling sloop active seized by Revenue for public auction on #Waterford Custom House Quay. Vessels like these were often bought back by original owners and returned to work.

Delighted to pick up some history books earlier in Ryan's of Patrick Street in #Waterford. Could have spent all day there poking around if it was possible.

Enjoying a Guinness and a measure of @BlackDistillery's Retronaut, an excellent 17 year old single malt whisk(e)y.
I blind tasted this while judging @WhiskeyAwardsIE last year and gave it a high score. I remember why!

A Sunday morning read: if you are looking to invest in casks of Irish whiskey for a financial return, tread carefully.

A quick stop in the @Shelbournebar to look at their 20+ pg Irish whiskey menu. In a continuing (and no doubt futile) effort to taste ALL the whiskeys out there I went for a @BlackDistillery Retronaut 17yr old single malt. The right choice! I’ll be back tmrw with @thatsdramgood – at Cork, Ireland

We took a road trip down to West Waterford today to visit our sponsor @BlackDistillery in Ballyduff Upper. Sometimes you forget just how beautiful Waterford is...but we will never forget how grateful we are to the team at Blackwater Distillery! Can't thank them enough 😊
