Talking to Tim Herlihy, Co-Author of The Dead Rabbit's Forthcoming Whiskey Book | |  | | | | | | | In October of 2017, Tim Herlihy and a few likeminded compatriots were in a rented 1970s Volkswagen van named Poppy, hurtling through Ireland amidst the chaos of Hurricane Ophelia. The car could only reach 50 mph, but even when it did it felt like it was doing 100, trembling noisily and chortling exhaust. As they navigated the countryside in the worst storm to hit the country in 50 years, they experienced moments of sheer terror. Yet their pursuit was worthwhile and pure, because their pursuit was whiskey.
It all culminated in the book From Barley to Blarney: A Whiskey Lover's Guide to Ireland. Co-written with Conor Kelly, as well as Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry—the proprietors of the famed New York Irish bar, The Dead Rabbit—the tome is a comprehensive guide, loving ode and living testament to the past, present and future of Ireland's greatest export.
