This morning we headed out to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. What fun! We all leaned way back, held the rails, and lowered ourselves down to kiss the stone. Afterwards we walked around the grounds, then hit the gift shop. After Blarney Castle, we drove to Midleton to the Jameson Whiskey Distillery. We did the tour, then our guide asked for eight volunteers to do a tasting. Since Kevin was driving, I did the tasting for the Gunns. We tried a four year (triple distilled) Jameson Whiskey against the double distilled Scotch against the single distilled US Jack Daniels. To me, the Jameson was the best. We headed back to Cork, got a little rest, then headed out for some more shopping (hello Tesco).
