Rating: 7.8
Michael Collins is a high-priced new addition to the Irish Whiskey market. It comes in a bottle that really sets some new standards of elegance, but in terms of taste and degree of palate-pleasing, I don’t sense that much difference between this and your garden-variety Bushmills or Jameson. I’m also not real sure I agree with the exhuming of dead people, heroes or not, to sell alcohol. I mean, did Michael Collins have a say in any of this? He probably doesn’t care, but criminy, can’t we just let people rest in peace? Benjamin Disraeli gin, Pancho Villa tequila, H.L. Mencken rye, Boris Pasternak vodka, Bob Marley rum--where will it all end? With Johnny Bench scotch????? Heaven help us!
